Lower lid malposition is common, increases with age and leads to impaired optical function of the ocular surface through chronic irritation of the conjunctiva and cornea. Numerous techniques have been described to reposition the lid margin to the globe and secure this position while maintaining intact motility. Some of these techniques have passed the test of time and have reached the status of "classic" standard procedures that need to be in the armamentarium of every oculoplastic surgeon. The aim of this article is to consider the merits of a selection of standard methods for the correction of lower lid entropion and ectropion by describing their indication, technique and key points.

Background: Involution or aging is the most common cause of lower eyelid entropion (in-turning of eyelid margin) in the elderly population. Various pathomechanisms have been postulated for its occurrence. Aging leads to laxity of tissues and loss of muscle tone.

Purpose: To describe a surgical method for correcting lower lid entropion, lateral canthal entropion, and macroblepharon.
Methods: Lid margins were incised at a 45° angle, and lateral lid margins and a rhomboid shaped piece of skin were resected based on the degree of macroblepharon. Subcutaneous tissue was sutured with absorbable sutures and anchored to the orbital ligament with a non-absorbable suture to maintain lateral canthal position.

Design: Parallel design, double-masked, placebo-controlled clinical trial with 1:1 randomization to fluorometholone 0.1% eye drops twice daily or placebo twice daily for 4 weeks in eyes undergoing trachomatous trichiasis (TT) surgery for assessing the efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness of fluorometholone 0.
Exploring the Versatility of Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty: A Retrospective Single-Center Study.

Plastic Surgery, Excel Hospital, New Delhi, IND.
Background Transconjunctival blepharoplasty using the postseptal technique provides direct access to orbital fat, offering reduced risk of complications, such as ectropion, entropion, fat over-resection, and inferior oblique muscle palsy. This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes and safety of transconjunctival blepharoplasty using the postseptal technique, focusing on the incidence of postoperative complications, the recovery time, and the feasibility of combining ancillary procedures with this approach. Methods In this retrospective observational study, we analyzed the outcomes of 88 patients who underwent transconjunctival postseptal blepharoplasty at a private hospital in northern India between July 2022 and January 2024.

Article Synopsis
- A 17-year study evaluated the clinical outcomes of 152 patients who underwent eyelid surgery for malignancies, primarily focusing on tumor type and surgical methods used.
- The most common tumor was basal cell carcinoma, and while complications were rare, some required further surgeries.
- Key findings showed that lymph node involvement and positive intraoperative margins significantly increased the risk of tumor recurrence, indicating the need for careful surgical planning.
