Turkish Journal of Ophthalmology Feb 2022To evaluate the effect of upper eyelid surgery on ocular surface and corneal topography.
OBJECTIVES
To evaluate the effect of upper eyelid surgery on ocular surface and corneal topography.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Patients who underwent upper eyelid blepharoplasty and/or blepharoptosis repair were evaluated prospectively. Tear film break-up time (TBUT), Schirmer tests, corneal staining pattern, Ocular Surface Disease Index questionnaire, corneal topography, and autorefractor parameters were measured preoperatively and at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months postoperatively.
RESULTS
Thirty-two eyes of 20 patients (9 male, 11 female) were included in the study. The mean age was 44.8±18.9 years (range: 8-74). Patients were divided into the following 3 groups according to the type of surgery performed: upper eyelid blepharoplasty (group 1), upper eyelid blepharoplasty and levator advancement ptosis surgery (group 2), and levator advancement ptosis surgery (group 3). There was a significant decrease in Schirmer test results at 6 months in groups 1 and 2 but no change in group 3. TBUT values were decreased at 1 week in group 3 (p=0.028) and returned to baseline at 1 month. Corneal punctate staining was detected at 1 day and 1 week in all groups. On corneal topography, group 3 showed a significant change in K2 values (0.3 diopters) at 1 month (p=0.006). There was no statistically significant change in autorefractor measurements postoperatively compared to preoperative values (p>0.05).
CONCLUSION
Depending on the type of surgical procedure performed, blepharoptosis repair and upper eyelid blepharoplasty can lead to dry eye of varying severity that may persist at postoperative 6 months.

Eye (London, England) Jul 2013The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of apoptosis in the pathogenesis of blepharoptosis.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of apoptosis in the pathogenesis of blepharoptosis.
PATIENTS AND METHODS
Forty-five eyelids of 43 consecutive patients (16 female, 27 males) that underwent levator resection surgery for ptosis correction were included in the study. Twenty-six of the eyelids had congenital myogenic ptosis and 19 had aponeurotic ptosis. Levator palpebrae superioris function and height of the vertical palpebral fissure were measured in all patients. After levator resection surgery, the distal part of the levator aponeurosis was fixed and sent for evaluation. Apoptotic cells were detected using Apop Tag Plus Peroxidase In Situ Apoptosis Detection Kit.
RESULTS
The mean levator palpebrae superioris function was 8.4 mm (range 5-10 mm) in congenital ptosis group and 12.1 mm (range 10-17 mm) in the aponeurotic ptosis group. The mean height of the vertical palpebral fissure in patients with congenital ptosis and aponeurotic ptosis were 6.5 mm (range 5-9 mm) and 6.1 mm (3-9 mm), respectively. The mean apoptotic index of congenital ptosis and aponeurotic ptosis were 27.3 (16-39) and 29.8 (18-41), respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between congenital and aponeurotic ptosis groups in a mean apoptotic index (P<0.05). Apoptotic index was not correlated with age, levator palpebrae superioris function, palpebral fissure height, and lid crease height in two groups.
CONCLUSION
We found no statistically significant difference between two subtypes of blepharoptosis regarding apoptosis. According to this study, apoptosis seems to have no significant role in the development of aponeurotic blepharoptosis.

A 52-year-old male patient presented to our hospital with a history of secondary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA) associated with an abdominal neoplasia and blepharoptosis. He had finger clubbing, hyperhidrosis, and hypertrichosis. He also had a recent history of extensive abdominal surgery with a pathology report of myelolipoma. Routine blood work was unremarkable. Upper eyelid reconstruction with blepharoplasty, upper eyelid wedge resection, and brow suspension was performed to address his eyelid concerns. By this case report, we would like to attract notice that the eyelid involvement may be a part of HOA and to emphasize the importance of systemic and pathologic evaluation in failed blepharoptosis surgery.

Review
RATIONALE
Complete isolated neurogenic blepharoptosis caused by blunt trauma is a sporadically reported rare entity and there is no consensus regarding the optimal treatment. We would like to report a rare case of isolated neurogenic blepharoptosis secondary to eyelid trauma with spontaneous recovery occurring within 4 weeks.
PATIENT CONCERNS
A previously healthy 47-year-old man presented with blepharoptosis in the right eye after eyelid trauma.
DIAGNOSIS
At presentation, visual acuity in both eyes was 20/20, and intraocular pressure was within the normal limits. Physical examination showed unilateral ptosis; magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed hematoma in the right frontal sinus. No intracranial lesions were observed and the pupillary reactions were normal. The remainder of the examination was unremarkable with full ocular motility. He was diagnosed with an isolated neurogenic blepharoptosis.
INTERVENTION AND OUTCOMES
He was managed conservatively without any specific treatment. Four weeks later, the patient had normal, symmetric lid height, and levator function was completely restored.
LESSONS
Isolated neurogenic blepharoptosis can be caused by blunt trauma, which might cause injury to the terminal branch of the oculomotor nerve. In this case, no special treatment was required, and complete resolution was achieved within 4 weeks.
