The Effect of Levator Recession for Upper Eyelid Retraction in Patients with Thyroid-associated Ophthalmopathy

Purpose: We analyzed factors that affect the outcome of levator recession surgery for upper eyelid retraction in patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy.Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed based on medical records 24 ophthalmopathy who underwent between February 10, 2010, and September 18, 2018. The margin to reflex distance (MRD), length area lower eyelids were measured compared software before after 6 months records. In addition, affecting difference MRD1 examined by multivariate linear regression analysis.Results: Twenty-four included study. decreased significantly from 5.12 ± 1.26 mm 3.48 1.08 at (p < 0.001). All measurements, i.e., UEL 0.001), UMA UCA = 0.004), ULA surgery, while none measurements showed significant changes. Multivariate logistic indicated preoperative associated success (odds ratio, 0.31; 95% confidence interval, 0.09-1.01).Conclusions: Levator is an efficient surgical method can correct ophthalmopathy.
