Blepharoptosis and corneal epithelial thickness alterations, is there any relation?

Background: To compare the epithelial thickness map of ptotic eyes of blepharoptosis patients with contralateral non- ptotic eyes.

Methods: Unilateral blepharoptosis patients were enrolled consecutively. Patients were underwent full ophthalmologic examination and their demographic data such as age and gender and specific ptosis findings e.

Effect of orbital decompression surgery on the choroidal profile in patients with thyroid eye disease.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of orbital wall decompression surgery and reduction of proptosis on the choroidal vascularity index (CVI) and subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) in patients with thyroid eye disease (TED). Fifty-one eyes from 38 patients with controlled TED and proptosis were enrolled in this study. The majority of the patients (50.

Superficial ocular vascular changes after orbital decompression in patients with thyroid ophthalmopathy measured by anterior segment OCT angiography; an observational study.

Thyroid eye disease (TED) is a common ophthalmologic manifestation of thyroid dysfunction. Despite various imaging techniques available, there hasn't been a widely adopted method for assessing the anterior segment vasculature in TED patients. Our study aimed to evaluate alterations in ocular surface circulation following orbital decompression surgery in TED patients and investigate factors influencing these changes.

Lower Eyelid Position Changes Following Müller's Muscle-Conjunctival Resection Blepharoptosis Surgery.

Background: Asymmetry of the lower eyelids and a lower position of the lower eyelid on the ptotic side are common issues in patients with upper lid ptosis. Understanding the relationship between upper lid ptosis correction and lower eyelid position will facilitate better treatment strategies for ptosis.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the lower eyelid position before and after Müller's muscle-conjunctival resection (MMCR) in unilateral myogenic ptosis (MP) and aponeurotic ptosis (AP).

Preliminary Analysis of Methamphetamine Detection in (Diptera: Calliphoridae) Reared in Methamphetamine-Treated Meat at Various Developmental Stages.
