Upper eyelid entropion is a complication of chronic blepharoconjunctivitis which may be easily missed unless careful examination of the lid margin of patients with trichiasis is carried out. Many patients undergo years of unsuccessful treatment for trichiasis because the underlying upper eyelid entropion has not been detected. We would like to recommend the already established procedure of anterior lamellar repositioning as a more permanent solution to this distressing condition and present the results of this procedure on 19 consecutive patients (28 lids). Our surgical technique is described and the results in this group of patients reported. The procedure was successful in 24 of 28 eyelids (85%), with success being defined as complete resolution of symptoms for a follow-up period of at least 10 months. Anterior lamellar repositioning is easy and relatively quick to perform and provides good functional and cosmetic results.

Acquired palpebral ptosis (also called blepharoptosis, or ptosis) is an abnormally low-positioned upper eyelid and occasionally presents as a chief complaint to the emergency department. Due to the wide range of causes and spectrum of severity, emergency physicians must recognize and initiate appropriate diagnostic and treatment pathways to limit the risk of long-term complications in those affected. We report a case of a 19 year old healthy man who presented with a chief complaint of unilateral eyelid droop in the setting of three days of sinusitis symptoms.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate preferences for elective double eyelid surgery and explore the psychosocial underpinnings influencing ocular aesthetics and attitudes toward aesthetic surgery.
Method: This nationwide online experiment was conducted throughout four tiers of cities in China using quota sampling, which included self-administered Likert scales for general self-efficacy and modified body image and a set of discrete choice experiments (DCE) that measured the relative value and odds ratio of elective double eyelid surgery surgical options and marginal willingness to pay for procedure attributes.
Results: A total of 554 respondents were included in the final analysis (41.

Upper blepharoplasty for ptosis aims to achieve functional and aesthetic outcomes. However, postoperative eyebrow descent is a potential complication that can affect surgical outcomes. This descent reflects the return of the brow to its normal position due to the release of compensatory frontalis muscle activity for ptosis.

Idiopathic upper eyelid retraction is a rare ocular symptom characterized by abnormal upward displacement of the upper eyelid, often without any identifiable systemic disease. This condition not only affects the patient's appearance but may also have a certain impact on their daily life and mental health. We report a case of adult idiopathic unilateral upper eyelid retraction, and based on the patient's specific condition, we used graded anterior plate blepharoplasty for treatment.
