Abstract
Eyelid skin characteristically has no rete pegs; lanugo hairs without erector pili are present, and there is no subcutaneous fat or stratification of dermis into defined zones. The eyelid epidermis consists of four layers: the stratum corneum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, and stratum germinativum. The stratum germinativum also is known as the basal layer. The dermis is composed of important structures such as hair, glands, nerves, and vessels.
