Purpose: Surgical reconstruction of medially located lower eyelid defects can be challenging. The Hughes procedure, considered the standard for reconstruction in such cases, often falls short in terms of cosmetic outcomes. An alternative approach that combines medial transposition with a tarsal graft and periosteal strip has shown promise.

In recent years, the concepts about nAMD changed with the development of optical coherence tomography-angiography (OCT-A) and intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment.

Background: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a modern, non-invasive technique for examining the posterior segment of the eye in vivo. The quality of images is crucial for the diagnostic process. Despite good image quality and high signal strength, we still obtain images with less relevant diagnostic data, especially in relation to RNFL and GCL thickness in myopic and hyperopic eyes.

Facial skin defect reconstruction in medial-canthal area of the lids can be a challenge even when performed by a skilled surgeon. The excision of large tumors in this area leads to significant surgical defects that cannot be repaired by merely closing the wound. The glabellar area provides a source of redundant skin with similar characteristics to that of the medial-canthal lid area.
