Assessment of Laser Parameters to Improve Lid Tension-A Proof of Concept towards Lasercanthoplasty.

Background: Preliminary clinical work indicates that increasing eyelid tension improves the function of the meibomian glands. The aim of this study was to optimize laser parameters for a minimally invasive laser treatment to increase eyelid tension by coagulation of the lateral tarsal plate and canthus.

Methods: Experiments were performed on a total of 24 porcine lower lids post mortem, with six lids in each group.
