| description | AIM: To discuss the effects of crescent-shaped resection of redundant conjunctiva and conjunctival fixation to the sclera to treat conjunctivochalasis. <p>METHODS: Totally 27 cases(48 eyes)suffering from conjunctivochalasis were treated by using two techniques: crescent-shaped resection of redundant conjunctiva, conjunctival fixation to the sclera. Evaluation of symptom, observation of conjunctivochalasis using slit lamp microscope, tear meniscus, tear break-up time(BUT)were measured after surgery. <p>RESULTS: Follow-up visits were made 1 week after surgery. Improvement was indicated in 92% crescent-shaped resection, in 88% in conjunctival fixation to the sclera. One month after surgery, improvement was indicated in 92% crescent-shaped resection, in 83% in conjunctival fixation to the sclera.<p>CONCLUSION: The two surgical techniques are effective in treating conjunctivochalasis. |
