The Change of Corneal Refraction and Corneal Curvature after Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty and Blepharoptosis Repair Surgery

The change of corneal refraction and corneal coverture after upper lid blepharoplasty and blepharoptosis repair surgery is still controversial. Dermatochalasis is redundant and lax eyelid skin and muscle, which commonly occurs in older people. Acquired ptosis involves eyelid drooping caused by a thinning of the levator aponeurosis. Overall, upper eyelid surgery is becoming increasingly popular. Patients who have undergone upper eyelid surgery occasionally complain of blurred vision in the operated eye. Several studies have investigated the effects of eyelid surgery on corneal shape. In this study, we reviewed several studies about the corneal curvature and refraction change after upper eyelid blepharoplasty or ptosis surgery and we want to share with many physicians about the outcomes of studies.
