Purpose: To report a case of inadvertent inferior oblique extirpation during orbital decompression, its management, and postoperative result.
Methods: A 38-year-old female with thyroid eye disease underwent cosmetic right orbital decompression during whichinferior oblique extirpation was noticed.
Result: The muscle was repaired on the same session (illustrated in the article) with no postoperative diplopia at 3-month follow-up.
Purposes: The purposes of this study were to compare lash ptosis (LP) with contralateral eyelid in patients with unilateral myogenic (MP) and aponeurotic (AP) ptosis before and after the ptosis repair and to assess the correlation between postoperative eyelid height and LP symmetry.
Methods: Patients older than 5 years were included from June 2015 to April 2017. Eyelid examination, LP grading (0-3), and photography were performed before and at least 6 months after ptosis repair.
Aims: To report four cases of acute primary angle closure (PAC) after blepharoplasty and forehead lifting procedures and review the previous reported cases in the literature.
Methods: Four female subjects with age range of 50-67 years developed PAC 2-5 days after blepharoplasty and endoscopic forehead lifting procedures. All presented with pain, nausea, blurred vision, red eye, and eyelid swelling.
Purpose: Since different subspecialties are currently performing a variety of upper facial rejuvenation procedures, and the level of knowledge on the ocular and periocular anatomy and physiology is different, this review aims to highlight the most important preoperative examinations and tests with special attention to the eye and periocular adnexal structures for general ophthalmologist and specialties other than oculo-facial surgeons in order to inform them about the fine and important points that should be considered before surgery to have both cosmetic and functional improvement.
Methods: English literature review was performed using PubMed with the different keywords of "periorbital rejuvenation", "blepharoptosis", "eyebrow ptosis", "blepharoplasty", "eyelid examination", "facial assessment", and "lifting". Initial screening was performed by the senior author to include the most pertinent articles.

Purpose: To assess the relationship between corneal endothelial cell loss after phacoemulsification and the location of the clear corneal incision.
Methods: A total of 92 patients (92 eyes) with senile cataracts who met the study criteria were included in this cross sectional study and underwent phacoemulsification. The incision site was determined based on the steep corneal meridian according to preoperative keratometry.
