PURPOSE To report the frequency and relationship of eyelid retraction, lid lag, lagophthalmos, and von Graefe's sign in a group of patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy and compare these findings to those in a group of normal individuals. DESIGN Retrospective comparative cohort study. PARTICIPANTS Fifty consecutive Graves' ophthalmopathy patients were compared to a control group of 50 normal...

BACKGROUND Double-eyelid procedure to construct a supratarsal fold is the most common aesthetic surgery in young Asian adults. More complex surgical procedures, such as fat grafting or filler injection, are often indicated during traditional, long-incision, double-eyelid procedures to achieve better aesthetic results for patients with hollowness of the upper eyelids. OBJECTIVES The authors so...

© 2014 Canadian Medical Association or its licensors CMAJ 1 A 52-year-old man presented with redness and irritation of the left eye. He had tried using artificial tear drops and gels without much benefit. On examination, the patient had redundant, wrinkled eyelid skin bilaterally with a greater amount on the affected side (Figure 1A). Ptosis of the left upper eyelid was evident, and the upper e...

PURPOSE To determine whether taping of the lower eyelid laterally and upward onto the temple region (to mimic a lateral tarsal strip procedure) can effectively predict whether lateral tarsal strip surgery will lead to resolution or improvement in functional epiphora by correcting eyelid laxity. METHODS A case series of 28 eyes in 20 patients with symptomatic epiphora and equivocal lateral eye...

Unilateral reduction in eyelid motility produced two modes of blink adaptation in humans. The first adaptive modification affected both eyelids. Stimulation of the supraorbital branch of the trigeminal nerve (SO) ipsilateral to the upper eyelid with reduced motility evoked bilateral, hyperexcitable reflex blinks, whereas contralateral SO stimulation elicited normally excitable blinks bilaterall...

Stye is a painful acute infectious condition. This also called as Hordeolum. It’s an inflammed oil gland either on the upper eyelid or lower eyelid. A 22years old female presented with complaint of internal and had been treated Pulsatilla 200, based totality symptoms follow-up 3months.this evidenced study that homoeopathy when choosen symptom similarity gives wonderful results.

Purpose: The eyelid is commonly dissected and divided in the process of, for example, blepharotomy, entropion repair, or when preparing a full-thickness eyelid flap to reconstruct a tumor defect. No study has yet been conducted to examine how perfusion in an eyelid is affected by dissection, using modern imaging techniques. Methods: The eyelid was divided with a 10-mm vertical incision, 5 mm fr...

To study the effect of age on the metrics of upper and lower eyelid saccades, eyelid movement of two groups of 30 subjects each were measured using computed image analysis. The patients were divided on the basis of age into a younger group (20-30 years) and an older group (60-91 years). Eyelid saccade functions were fitted by the damped harmonic oscillator model. Amplitude and peak velocity wer...
