Article Synopsis
- * Out of 258 eyes treated, a high success rate of 90.3% was noted, with mild ptosis achieving the best success at 96.6%, while severe ptosis had a notably lower success rate of 83.5%.
- * Results indicated that performing tarsectomy along with conjunctivo-mullerectomy increased the risk of unsuccessful outcomes, while the levator muscle function did not show a significant link to surgical failure.
Purpose: To report an outcome of a patient with complete ankyloblepharon successfully managed with simple oral mucosal epithelial transplantation (SOMET).
Methods: A 55-year-old woman presented with complete adhesion of both lids to the ocular surface as a complication from Stevens-Johnson syndrome. We performed 2-staged reconstructive surgeries: the first stage was to perform ankyloblepharon lysis and surface reconstruction with a mucosal graft on the palpebral area and an amniotic membrane on the bulbar area, and the second stage was to reconstruct the bulbar area with a transplantation of small pieces of oral mucosa (SOMET technique).
Purpose: To develop and assess the psychometric properties of the Thai version of the Graves' Ophthalmopathy Quality of Life (GO-QOL) questionnaire.
Background: Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO) is a chronic condition that causes negative self-image and impaired visual function. These conditions impact quality of life (QOL) but are rarely documented.
A 43-year-old male residing in Prachin Buri Province, Thailand, was admitted to the Siriraj University Hospital of Mahidol University, Thailand, in July 2014 with right eyelid swelling and serpiginous lesion for three weeks. A nematode specimen was accidentally recovered from his upper right eyelid area. The body of the worm was cylindrical and measured 11.

In this prospective, noncomparative case series, 20 eyes (18 patients) with bilateral severe ocular surface disease were chosen to undergo COMET on human AM. The primary outcome was clinical success, and the secondary outcomes were the best-corrected visual acuity difference, corneal opacification, symblepharon formation, and complications.
