Objective: This study aimed to investigate the microscopic structure and characteristics of nevi on the conjunctiva of the lacrimal caruncle by confocal microscopy.
Methods: In total, four patients with nevi growing on the lacrimal caruncle conjunctiva were recruited. The morphological characteristics of the nevi were evaluated by confocal microscopy before excision surgery; the results were compared with histopathological analyses of the surgical specimens.
Background: To evaluate a modified technique for involutional entropion correction in a retrospective cohort study.
Methods: The patients with involutional entropion eyelid were corrected by tightening the pretarsal orbicularis oculi muscle and excising the excess skin of the lower eyelid. The patients received correction surgery from April 2013 to March 2019 were followed up for more than 6 months postoperatively.
Purpose: Ocular imaging can enhance our understanding of wound healing. We report anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) findings in penetrating corneal injury.
Methods: Serial ASOCT was performed after repair of penetrating corneal injury.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the process of corneal wound healing after penetrating injury with the change in optical intensity on anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) and to investigate factors associated with severity of corneal scar. Forty-seven eyes from 47 patients with repaired corneal laceration were included. AS-OCT was performed on 1day, 1week, 1, 3 and 6 months after primary repair.

Case Report: We report a case of a 59-year-old female who presented with an upper eyelid mass in the right eye for 3 months, without pain and irrigation. A computerized tomography (CT) scan showed a mass in the bilateral lacrimal gland region, more significant in right eye. The patient underwent a lacrimal gland mass excision surgery and diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma by histopathology.
Purpose: Meta-analysis to compare pterygium surgery outcomes using limbal conjunctival autograft (LCAG) and other techniques.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted through June 2011 using PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Registry to identify all randomized control trials reported so far, comparing the recurrence rates of pterygium after LCAG and other surgical techniques. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of rates of pterygium recurrence were pooled using the Mantel-Haenszel method.
Background: Blepharophimosis ptosis epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES) is a rare congenital ophthalmic disorder, characterized by congenital eyelid malformation including bilateral ptosis, shortening of the horizontal eyelid fissure, epicanthus inversus, and increased distance between the inner canthi. In this research, we studied the histological structure and ultrastructure of medial canthal ligament of patients with BPES.
Methods: Thirty patients with BPES who received plastic surgery at the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center from March 2006 to January 2008 were studied.
Purpose: To propose and evaluate a modified evisceration technique that aiming to minimize the extrusion or exposure and improve motility of the implant.
Design: Interventional prospective study.
Methods: There were 154 patients referred to our clinic from March 1, 2003 to March 1, 2007.
