Intense Pulsed Light for the Treatment of Dry Eye Owing to Meibomian Gland Dysfunction
Published on: April 1, 2019
Abstract:
Blepharochalasis is a redundancy of the eyelid skin. It may be associated with herniation of orbital fat, and the eyelids may have a baggy appearance. They may become heavy and reduce the visual field. Blepharoplasty, in which the excess skin and fat are removed, can not only improve appearance but can also improve ocular function. The most common serious complication of surgery is overcorrection of the lower eyelids. Skin grafting may be required to repair the resulting ectropion. Since visual compromise is a rare but possible complication, complete preoperative ophthalmologic evaluation is advisable.
