The use of eyelid switch flap in the correction of lower eyelid coloboma in a post-traumatic contracted socket is described. The lower eyelid, inferior fornix and lateral canthus were successfully created in a single stage with a switch flap from the upper eyelid. A satisfactory cosmetic outcome and a stable fornix for placement of a custom ocular prosthesis was achieved.
