LAUSR

Ablepharon macrostomia syndrome (AMS) is a rare condition characterised by absent or extremely short eyelids and a large fish-like mouth. The lack of eyelids results in exposure keratopathy and severe visual impairment from a young age. Systemic clinical features include rudimentary ears with attached lobes, absent or rare body hair, thin and redundant skin, absent nipples, a distended abdomen, and genital ambiguity. The following case illustrates a patient with AMS in which multidisciplinary care was used to provide comprehensive optometric management.
