AIM The aim of this study was to assess the repeatability and reproducibility by physicians of upper lid measurements and to investigate the influence of clinical experience on the learning curve effect. METHODS Both eyes of 22 outpatients were assessed for three basic measures of ptosis: marginal reflex distance (MRD) for upper and lower lids, upper lid skin crease (SC), and levator function...

THIS case is reported as a mass in the lower lid presumed to be due to " sclerosing lipo-granuloma". Case Report A boy aged 16 years reported at the Surbiton Branch of the Royal Eye Hospital on December 29, 1956, complaining of a painless swelling in his left lower lid which had appeared gradually during the past 7 days. He had received a light blow from a fist on his left eye while "fooling ar...

purpose: to report two cases of conversion disorder with unilateral psychogenic pseudoptosis. case reports: the first case was 21 years old man who developed sudden ptosis of his left eye, since 2 weeks ago. the patient had episodes of upper lid drooping during the last 7 months; the second case was a 10 years old girl with history of ptosis since 6 months, after viral conjunctivitis. all neuro...

OBJECTIVES Quantitative evaluation of palpebral dimensions of Japanese residents in Japan and Japanese descendant (Nikkeis) who live in Brazil, in order to define if environmental factors may influence these parameters. METHODS A prospective study evaluating 107 Nikkeis from Brazil and 114 Japanese residents in Japan, aged 20 years or older. Exclusion criteria were those with palpebral positi...

Myopia in the lid-sutured tree shrew (Tupoia g/is) Many mammals reared with visual deprivation display abnormally poor visual behavior while using their deprived eyes1-4,9,1°. These results typically have been attributed to defective development of the central visual pathways during the deprivation 6 s,11,13. However. it is important to consider non-neural (e.g., optical) sources which might co...

Examination.-The visual acuity was 6/9 in each eye. Refraction under atropine revealed slight hypermetropia. Both fundi were normal. The movements of the eyes were full and the eyes were orthophoric on cover test. The action of the left superior rectus was normal. The child was attempting to correct the lid deformity by elevating the eyebrow. There was no evidence of jawwinking (Marcus Gunn phe...

purpose: to present a case of traumatic bilateral eyelid lymphedema. case report: an 18-year old male presented with severe bilateral eye lid lymphedema with a history of severe craniofacial trauma three month ago and neurosurgical procedure. he had lost vision in his left eye because of sever globe injury. his lymphedema was attributed to wide surgical incision scar. the patient underwent manu...

A Bayesian Survival Analysis method is motivated and developed for analysing sequences of scores made by a batsman in test or first class cricket. In particular, we expect the presence of an effect whereby the distribution of scores has more probability near zero than a geometric distribution, due to the fact that batting is more difficult when the batsman is new at the crease. A Metropolis-Has...

The cornea of one eye was opacified in two young macaque monkeys by multiple stromal injections of a suspension of polystyrene particles (latex). Ultrasound measurements showed that the eye with opaque cornea grew at a faster rate, so that after 1 year it was more than 1 mm longer than the normal eye. This difference in axial length was due to elongation of the posterior segment, since lens thi...
