Our purpose is to report a case of recurrent corneal erosion post Asian blepharoplasty or double-eyelid surgery. The patient was initially treated with bandage contact lens, lubricants, and mild steroids with temporary improvement. Complete resolution of symptoms was achieved only following suture removal. Upper eyelid eversion with proper exploration of the fornix is key to identify hidden sutures.
