A single- versus double-layered closure technique for full-thickness lower eyelid defects: a comparative study.

Purpose: To compare a simplified, single-layered closure technique with a double-layered closure technique in lower eyelid reconstruction following full-thickness pentagonal block excision.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective, non-randomized, interventional case-control study. Clinical data of consecutive patients treated with primary closure of a full-thickness lower eyelid defect between 2011 and 2014 were analysed.

Efficacy of transconjunctival excision of orbital fat prolapse: a long-term follow-up study.

Purpose: To describe the long-term efficacy of transconjunctival excision of subconjunctival orbital fat prolapse.

Methods: Retrospective study of consecutive cases of orbital fat prolapse treated with transconjunctival resection between December 2002 and December 2011.

Results: Thirty-two eyes of 23 patients (19 males and four females) were included.

Purpose: To study the dexamethasone concentration in aqueous humor, vitreous, and serum of patients after repeated topical application of dexamethasone disodium phosphate.

Design: Prospective nonrandomized comparative trial.

Participants: Twenty phakic patients scheduled for a first vitrectomy.
