Sutureless Conjunctiva-Sparing Posterior Ptosis Repair Surgery: A Novel Technique.

Purpose: Müller muscle-conjunctival resection (MMCR) is a popular posterior/internal surgical approach to cases of mild to moderate blepharoptosis with good levator function. MMCR necessitates the removal of healthy conjunctiva and exposes the cornea to suture material. The goal of this study is to describe a novel sutureless conjunctiva-sparing Müllerectomy (CSM) surgery and demonstrate its long-term efficacy, efficiency, and safety.

Change in Lower Eyelid Contour Following Ectropion Repair With Lateral Tarsal Strip.

Purpose: To evaluate the change in lateral canthal angle (LCA), inferior ocular surface exposed (IOSE), lower eyelid curvature, and margin-to-reflex distance 2 in those undergoing lower eyelid ectropion repair using a lateral tarsal strip technique.

Methods: This is an Institutional Review Board-approved retrospective analysis of patients undergoing lower eyelid ectropion repair. This study included all patients from 2012 to 2018 operated on by a single surgeon at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.

Patients' Adherence to Recommended Follow-up Eye Care After Diabetic Retinopathy Screening in a Publicly Funded County Clinic and Factors Associated With Follow-up Eye Care Use.

Importance: The public health success of diabetic retinopathy (DR) screening programs depends on patients' adherence to the timetable of follow-up eye care recommended by the screening program. African Americans are among those at highest risk for DR and have one of the lowest rates of eye care use.

Objectives: To assess the rate of adhering to recommended follow-up eye care in a DR screening program administered in a safety-net health care facility and to examine factors associated with follow-up eye care use.
