We present a case of a zipper injury to an upper eyelid in a pediatric patient. The zipper was successfully removed in the operating room by using a double-action bone cutter to cut the median footplate of the zipper and release the entrapped tissue. Zipper injuries are well-described in urology literature, however, limited case reports exist in ophthalmology literature. We review several methods for zipper removal and present special considerations for eyelid injuries.
