Lower eyelid blepharoplasty has historically been approached from one of only two techniques, either the anterior subciliary incision or from the posterior transconjunctival approach. Both have been used with subtractive techniques of skin and fat resection in most cases and both have had issues with post operative lower lid retraction with scleral show, albeit less with the posterior approach. Lateral acces recontouring does not transgress either the anterior or posterior functional muscles of the lower lid and avoids damaging the innervation of the lower lid orbicularis. Thus the technoque has resulted in a zero incidence of slceral show in this series beginning in 2007. When combined with muscle lifting and fat preservation as recontouring techniques, and canthal support when indicated, it also provides excellent blending of the lid cheek junction for effective rejuvenation.

Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of a comprehensive surgical approach for rejuvenation of the aging lower periorbita.
Methods: Between February 2018 and January 2023, 80 eyes of 40 patients with lower lid dermatochalasis (LLD), lower lid laxity (LLL) or orbicularis laxity of the lower lid (OL) admitted to the oculoplastic surgery department of our clinic were included in the study. 18 eyes had LLD, 14 eyes had LLL, 18 eyes had LLD and LLL, and 30 eyes had LLD, LLL and OL.

Purpose: Euryblepharon is a rare congenital eyelid malformation characterized by symmetrical horizontal enlargement of the palpebral fissure. The eyelid is shortened vertically compared with the horizontal dimension. The lateral canthus is most commonly affected.

Importance: During FET cycles in IVF/ICSI patients (including PGT patients), transfer of embryos that have been thawed may be abandoned for medical or personal reasons, resulting in the need to refreeze embryos. Typically, embryos from patients undergoing preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) are cryopreserved after biopsy, pending test results. However, in the absence of a clear result, another biopsy is required and the embryo is frozen again to await the results for future use.

Background: Reconstruction of the lids is a significant challenge for ocular plastic surgeons as it requires the greatest functional and cosmetic outcomes. This study aimed to share the experience of Tenzel rotational flap in upper and lower lid reconstruction of anterior lamella at a tertiary eye care hospital of Karachi, Pakistan.
Methods: 10 patients with upper and lower eyelid defects over a period of 6 months were a part of this prospective interventional clinical study.
