Angular Vein Varix Congestion From Chronic Glasses Wear.

This is a case report of a symptomatic varicose angular vein exacerbated by chronic glasses wear. Compressing the vein in a recumbent position led to increased fullness of the medial canthal region and reproduced his symptoms. Obliteration by cauterization of the vein led to resolution of symptoms.

Stable Upper Eyelid after 2 Successive Tarsoconjunctival Flaps.

A 70-year-old male with history of multiple cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma throughout the body presented with a left lower lid margin squamous cell carcinoma. The lesion was excised via Mohs surgery elsewhere, and the defect was reconstructed with a tarsoconjunctival flap (Hughes flap). The lesion recurred, and the patient had a second Mohs surgery for excision.

Surgical Microanatomy of Lower Eyelid Tarsal Ectropion Repair With a Putterman Ptosis Clamp.

Purpose: To examine the changes in microscopic anatomy of the lower eyelid tarsal ectropion repair with the Putterman ptosis clamp and better understand the anatomical changes associated with the eyelid malposition correction.

Methods: Ten orbits from 5 fresh frozen cadaver heads, ranging in age from 53 to 77 years, were used for the dissection. For each head, a Putterman clamp tarsal ectropion repair was performed on one side, while the contralateral unoperated orbit served as a control.
