The Long-Term Effect on Dry Eye of Posterior Approach Ptosis Surgery Vs. Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

CONCLUSIONS: Patients who underwent MMCR, but not those following upper blepharoplasty, showed signs of dry eye compared to the preoperative status after long-term follow-up. Dry eye signs should be examined before MMCR surgery, and patients should be aware of the high risk of developing dry eye and the need for long-term treatment. Surgeons should carefully consider performing MMCR for patients with severe dry eye.PMID:38221896 | DOI:10.1080/02713683.2024.2302546
