PURPOSE We previously characterized a monoclonal antibody against a glycoprotein of rat ocular surface glycocalyx (ROSG). This monoclonal antibody recognizes a carbohydrate epitope on a glycoprotein expressed in apical cells of the differentiated ocular surface epithelium. Our goal was to determine the developmental appearance of the ROSG glycoprotein. METHODS We localized the antigen immunoh...

I want to thank the editor for asking me to address the topic of the surgical management of postblepharoplasty lower eyelid retraction (PBLER). Thanks to the authors for sharing their work with Aesthetic Surgery Journal.1 Lower eyelid retraction following lower blepharoplasty has long been an important topic of interest to aesthetic surgeons, both in terms of its prevention and its treatment.

OBJECTIVE Among the surgical procedures used to correct the positions of the eyelids or improve their cosmetic appearance, procedures for treating eyelid retraction are some of the most challenging. Lower eyelid retraction can occur iatrogenically after various surgical procedures. We performed a successful corrective procedure for lower eyelid retraction, which had occurred at some point in th...

BACKGROUND Lower eyelid reconstruction after tumor removal is always challenging, and full-thickness defects beyond half of the eyelid length require a flap from a part other than the remaining lower eyelid, such as the temporal area or the cheek. OBJECTIVE We aimed to report our experience of applying Smith-modified Kuhnt-Szymanowski, one of the most popular procedures for paralytic ectropio...

We report a case of Muir-Torre syndrome (MTS) with a very rare combination of cancers, involving bilateral eyelid cancers and breast cancer. A 71-year-old female with a history of breast cancer from 18 years prior presented with bilateral eyelid tumors. One of her siblings had lung cancer, and another had pancreatic cancer. She underwent excisional biopsy of the eyelid tumors and histopathology...

Human bite injury to the eyelid is extremely rare and poses a significant challenge in surgical reconstruction. We report an extremely rare case of human bite injury to the eyelid in a 43-year-old male with approximately 60% full thickness loss of the upper eyelid and 80% to 90% full thickness loss of the lower eyelid and its successful reconstruction using the local advancement cheek flap.

There are several options available for upper eyelid reconstruction that depend on the extent of involvement of the anterior and posterior lamella. Knowledge of the anatomy will ensure that in addition to the creation of an aesthetically acceptable eyelid reconstruction, a functional upper lid will be restored. The purpose of this article is to outline the anatomy of the eyelid, to analyze the ...
