Abstract Purpose: The aim of this study is to determine whether any change occurs in corneal astigmatic values measured by a pentacam and any subjective visual acuity changes occurs following the upper eyelid blepharoplasty. Methods: This is a prospective study; 43 eyes of 23 patients with dermatochalasis underwent pentacam and surveyed for blurred vision before, 1 and 3 months after blepharoplasty surgery. In the course of those 3 measurements, both refractive and keratometric data were…

Effect of Upper Lid Blepharoplasty Surgery on Corneal Topography and Corneal High-Order Aberrations

It is found that upper eyelid blepharoplasty did not cause significant changes in corneal topography, astigmatism, and ocular HOAs, however, studies are reporting different results in the literature.

Prospective analysis of visual function changes in patients with dermatochalasis after upper eyelid blepharoplasty.

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty in patients with dermatochalasis has a significant improvement in visual function in terms of contrast sensitivity, astigmatism, and higher order aberrations.

Prospective analysis of visual function changes in patients with dermatochalasis after upper eyelid blepharoplasty

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty in patients with dermatochalasis has a significant improvement in visual function in terms of contrast sensitivity, astigmatism, and higher order aberrations.

Influence of upper blepharoplasty on intraocular lens calculation.

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty influenced intraocular lens calculation using the IOLMaster, however, the influence was not clinically significant and no topographic changes were found using Galilei.

Effect of upper eyelid blepharoplasty on corneal biomechanical, topographic and tomographic parameters 4 weeks after surgery

The trend of increasing CH and CRF values might indicate a rise of corneal damping capacity, despite statistically significant differences of Kmax, I-S and ISV, all other tomographical and topographical parameters did not change 4 weeks after surgery.

Effects of Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty on Contrast Sensitivity in Dermatochalasis Patients

Comparison sensitivity significantly increases after upper eyelid blepharoplasty, especially at higher spatial frequencies which are known to deteriorate due to age-related changes in the lens and retina in older adults.

Changes in Refraction and Visual Acuity after Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty versus Posterior Approach Ptosis Procedures

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty with or without MMCR is associated with significant SIRC 3 months postoperatively, which may affect decision-making for all patients, especially for those who intend to seek refractive correction in addition to the index upper eyelid surgery.

Effect of congenital ptosis correction on corneal topography- A prospective study

Evaluating the changes in corneal topography, cycloplegic refraction, and best-corrected visual acuity after ptosis correction surgery in patients with congenital ptosis found Ptotic eyelid constantly presses on the cornea causing significant changes inCorneal contour and surface remodeling resulted in improvement of cornesal surface irregularity and symmetry.

SURGICALLY INDUCED ASTIGMATISM AFTER UPPER EYELID SURGERY IN ADULT PATIENTS

Upper eyelid surgery can induce astigmatism, therefore, it might be better to perform upper eyelid operations before refractive procedures, and there was a significant increase in IPF and MRD 1 values.

Effects of Upper Eyelid Surgery on the Ocular Surface and Corneal Topography

Depending on the type of surgical procedure performed, Blepharoptosis repair and upper eyelid blepharoplasty can lead to dry eye of varying severity that may persist at postoperative 6 months.

Effect of upper eyelid surgery on corneal topography.

A statistically significant correlation was found between the severity of upper eyelid abnormality and topographical corneal changes after surgery and the thickness of the central cornea was correlated with the change in astigmatism.

Scheimpflug Imaging in Dermatochalasis Patients Before and After Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

The repositioning of the upper eyelid does not lead to significant changes in visual acuity, steepest keratometric reading, anterior chamber depth, central corneal thickness, or astigmatic power vector of J0 and J45.

Prospective analysis of changes in corneal topography after upper eyelid surgery.

Repositioning of the upper eyelid after ptosis repair or blepharoplasty may result in visually significant astigmatic changes in the central and peripheral cornea and may alter the patient's spectacle or contact lens correction.

Changes in Astigmatism After Ptosis Surgery Measured by Corneal Topography

It is suggested that corneal topography may be altered by changes in eyelid position, although the changes appear to be temporary in most patients.

Persistent blurred vision after blepharoplasty and ptosis repair.

It is found that only a small percentage of patients have persistent subjective symptoms 1 year postoperatively, and it is important for facial plastic surgeons to properly advise patients, especially those with combined procedures, that upper eyelid repositioning procedures may induce long-term vision changes.

Visual Function Following Trabeculectomy: Effect on Corneal Topography and Contrast Sensitivity

Corneal topographic changes appear to contribute to visual acuity reduction following trabeculectomy, in most cases this is transient with return to preoperative topography within 12 weeks.

The effect of trabeculectomy on refraction, keratometry and corneal topography

It is concluded that computer-assisted corneal topography reveals complex regional changes in Corneal curvature that are not readily detected from alterations in refraction or keratometry.

The effect of trabeculectomy on corneal topography.

Study of corneal surface changes induced by primary trabeculectomy in eight eyes undergoing surgery for POAG or normal-tension glaucoma indicates that changes in cornea curvature are induced by filtering surgery, but may be undetectable without topographic analysis.

Corneal Topographic Changes Following Strabismus Surgery in Graves' Disease

Examination of corneal changes after strabismus surgery in eight eyes of five patients with Graves' disease revealed that corneas steepened inferiorly and inferotemporally at postoperatively, indicative that cornea topography may be influenced by strabistsus surgery through alteration of extraocular muscle tension or intraocular pressure.

The relationship between soft tissue anomalies around the orbit and globe and astigmatic refractive errors: a preliminary report.

A causal relationship between soft tissue anomalies and astigmatic refractive errors seen clinically in certain syndromes, such as Goldenhar and mandibulo-facial dysostosis is supported and patients observed with periorbital soft tissue defects may be at risk for the development of unilateral anisometropicRefractive errors and secondary amblyopia.
