Purpose: To quantify the relation between eye and eyelids placement in different positions during downgaze and upgaze in healthy subjects.
Methods: The position of the eye and eyelids of 10 healthy individuals was quantified by palpebral fissure image processing with NIH Image software. Upper and lower mid-pupil margin distance was measured in 7 positions: -30, -20, -10, 0, +10, +20 and +30 degrees (positive signs correspond to upgaze and negative signs to downgaze) along vertical meridian.
Results: The upper mid-pupil margin distance decreases in upgaze and even more in downgaze. The lower mid-pupil margin distance increases in upgaze and decreases in downgaze. About the palpebral fissure height, it gets larger in upgaze until 20 degrees and smaller in downgaze.
Conclusion: Our data showed that the interpalpebral fissure height varies with vertical meridian gaze amplitude and that considerations about mid-pupil margin distance must consider the amount of upgaze or downgaze.

Background: Existing evaluation tools of tear trough deformity are based on subjective impression of clinicians. More accurate quantitative assessment methods are needed. This study aimed to propose a quantitative three-dimensional assessment method for the tear trough deformity in comparison with the Barton's grading system and apply it to the efficacy evaluation of orbital septum fat transposition.

Background: We aimed to propose a deep learning-based approach to automatically measure eyelid morphology in patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO).
Methods: This prospective study consecutively included 74 eyes of patients with TAO and 74 eyes of healthy volunteers visiting the ophthalmology department in a tertiary hospital. Patients diagnosed as TAO and healthy volunteers who were age- and gender-matched met the eligibility criteria for recruitment.
Effect of Rim-Off Deep Lateral Orbital Decompression on Interpalpebral Fissure Shape.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare the palpebral fissure shape after rim-off deep lateral decompression with and without restoration of the lateral orbital rim.
Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional quantitative analysis of the palpebral fissure images of 17 patients (25 eyes) who underwent rim-off deep lateral orbital decompression without repositioning of the rim (G1) and of 20 patients (34 eyes) operated with rim restoration. Quantification of palpebral fissure images included MRD 1 and MRD 2 , two lateral mid-pupil lid margin (MPD) distances, the width of the palpebral fissure, and the height and shape of the lateral canthus.

Background And Aim: Eyelid position and contour abnormality could lead to various diseases, such as blepharoptosis, which is a common eyelid disease. Accurate assessment of eyelid morphology is important in the management of blepharoptosis. We aimed to proposed a novel deep learning-based image analysis to automatically measure eyelid morphological properties before and after blepharoptosis surgery.

Purpose: Although previous reports addressed the differences in marginal reflex distance 1 (MRD-1) measurements based on various techniques of levator advancement, eyelid crease measurements have not been studied as markers in perioperative planning. In addition to possible benefits in optimal results for improvement of visual field defects and functional impairment, recent work has suggested that eyelid crease is important in the perception of attractiveness. Therefore, the aims of this study were to determine the change in eyelid crease measurements in levator advancement and to further expand on numerical correlation of levator advancement in preoperative planning to avoid overcorrection or undercorrection.
