Proper assessment of the wound is important to choose the method of repair, and this is best achieved if one has a certain classification to follow. The method of repair varies according to whether the laceration is involving or not the lid margin, whether it is partial or full-thickness and whether there is tissue loss or not. One should look for levator injury in upper lid wounds. Injuries to the lacrimal canaliculi should be looked for and managed properly, whether with direct or retrograde catheterization or direct suturing without intubation.
