Upper Eyelid Retraction in Graves' Ophthalmopathy: Our Surgical Experience on 153 Cases of Full-Thickness Anterior Blepharotomy with Mullerectomy.

Background: We present our experience on 153 cases of full-thickness anterior blepharotomy with mullerectomy (FTABM) in the treatment of upper eyelid retraction (UER) related to Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO).

Methods: We included all the patients who underwent a graded FTABM between 1 January 2015 and 30 June 2020 for UER GO-related. The analysis included: pre-/post-operative conjunctival symptoms, epiphora, GO-Quality of Life Questionnaire (QoL), lagophthalmos, marginal reflex distance (MRD-1) index, eyelid symmetry within 1mm.
