Ocular surface disease in patients with involutional lower eyelid malpositions
Abstract
The article presents the results of the evaluation of the state of the ocular surface in patients with involutional lower eyelid malpositions of atopic type. In the group with eyelid malposition was marked a statistically significant reduction in the time gap of the tear film and marked damage of the surface of the cornea and conjunctiva. According to the questionnaire, the index reflecting the damage to the ocular surface tissues in patients with malposition eyelids more pronounced clinical manifestations of dry eye syndrome. Therefore, involutional lower eyelid malpositions lead to the defeat of the ocular surface tissue, mainly due to the violation of the tear film stability and enhance its evaporation.
