    ANTERIOR CORNEAL MOSAIC*T by A

    Br J Ophthalmol: first published as 10.1136/bjo.52.9.659 on 1 September 1968. Downloaded from Brit. J. Ophthal. (1968) 52, 659 ANTERIOR CORNEAL MOSAIC*t BY A. J. BRON Moorfields Eye Hospital, City Road Branch, London THE corneal anatomy has received intensive study in recent years, but an aspect of its structure which is readily observed clinically has received little attention in the literature. In all normal corneae, after the instillation of fluorescein into the conjunctival sac, a striking mosaic pattern may be observed on the surface of the corneal epithelium after massage of the cornea through the lids. This pattern will be referred to as the anterior corneal mosaic. It was first observed by the author in patients whose eyes had been padded for corneal disease. It was noted in some that a mosaic pattern appeared after the instilla- tion of fluorescein. This pattern disappeared in a short period of time, but could readily be re-induced by pressure on the cornea through the lids. It is the purpose of this paper to describe the characteristics of the anterior corneal mosaic and to discuss its significance. This pattern was studied by Fischer (1928), and has since been re-studied by Schweitzer (1967). Methods Induction of the Mosaic A drop of 2 per cent. fluorescein is instilled into the conjunctival sac and the cornea is viewed with the cobalt beam of the slit lamp. If necessary the fluorescein is diluted to produce a bright fluorescence. A thumb is placed on the upper lid of the eye under examination and with the eye in the straight-ahead position, the lid is moved up and down over the cornea with light or moderate pressure applied to the globe.

    Policy 96018: Blepharoplasty, Blepharoptosis Repair, and Brow

    Policy: 96018 Initial Effective Date: 11/22/1996 SUBJECT: Blepharoplasty, Blepharoptosis Repair, and Annual Review Date: 11/16/2020 Brow Ptosis Repair Last Revised Date: 11/16/2020 Prior approval is required for some or all procedure codes listed in this Corporate Medical Policy. Definition: The term blepharoplasty refers to a collection of surgical procedures that involve removal of redundant eyelid tissue (skin, muscle, and fat). Although the primary indication for blepharoplasty is to improve the eyelid appearance, redundant lax eyelid tissue (dermatochalasis) can obstruct the superior visual field and interfere with activities of daily living in some individuals. In these cases, blepharoplasty may be considered in order to produce functional improvement in vision. The pathophysiology of dermatochalasis has not been well described, but much of the process appears to involve skin changes associated with the aging process. Less commonly, systemic disorders such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome may predispose patients to develop dermatochalasis at a younger age. Clinical manifestations are mainly cosmetic, but in severe cases eyelid tissue may obstruct the superior visual field. The most common symptoms include difficulty reading and loss of peripheral vision when driving. Blepharoplasty may help to improve function for patients with clinically significant dermatochalasis. Blepharochalasis is sometimes confused with dermatochalasis. Though similar in nomenclature, these two disorders are quite different in presentation and etiology. Blepharochalasis is a rare condition characterized by intermittent, recurrent eyelid edema, resulting in relaxation of the eyelid tissue and resultant atrophy. The lower eyelids are less commonly involved. Blepharochalasis typically presents in adolescence or young adulthood, with intermittent attacks that occur less commonly as the person ages.

    Eyelids (2 Lec.)

    Eyelids (2 lec.) Dr Abdulmelik shallal Anatomy: Eyelids are thin movable curtains composed of skin on their anterior surface and mucus membrane (conjunctiva) on the posterior surface, they contain: 1- Smooth muscles (Müller's muscles). 2- Striated muscles (Orbicularis oculi and Levator palpebrae superioris "LPS"). 3- Dense fibrous plates (Tarsal plates). 4- Glands. 5- Nerves and blood vessels. 1 The contents of the lid are distributed as follows: the anterior surface is made of skin which has a round edge with the lid margin, the subcutaneous tissue, muscular layer, the submuscular (areolar tissue) layer, the orbital septum which end as a tarsal plate (that forms the architecture of lid) and finally the conjunctiva (palpebral) which is situated most posterior. The free margin of the eyelids contains: 1- The lashes (Cilia). 2- Grey line. 3- Orifices of Meibomian glands. 4- Mucocutaneous junction 5- Superior and inferior puncti of Naso-Lacrimal System (NLS). Muscles of the eyelids: 1- Orbicularis oculi muscle: It is a thin oval sheet of concentric striated muscle surrounding the palpebral fissure. It can be divided into: a- Peripheral (orbital) part: This is involved in forceful closure of lids. b- Central (palpebral) part: This is involved in involuntary blinking, voluntary nonforceful closure and participates in forceful closure with the orbital part. c- Muscle of Rioland's: this part is represented by the gray line of lid margin. d- lacrimalis muscle: that attached to the fundus of lacrimal sac. This part is involved in pumping action of lacrimal drainage system. Nerve supply: Sensory: Ophthalmic branch of trigeminal nerve Motor: Facial nerve.

Olivier Galatoire and Mathieu Zmuda of the A. de Rothschild Ophthalmological Foundation and Dr. Christine Levy-Gabriel of the Curie Institute. The subject is now of unquestionable importance and evidently of great interest to Ophthalmologists, whether they are orbital- palpebral specialists or not. Indeed, errors or delays in the diagnosis of tumor pathologies are relatively common and the consequences can be serious in the case of malignant tumors, especially carcinomas. Swift diagnosis and anatomopathological confirmation will lead to a treatment, discussed in multidisciplinary team meetings, ranging from surgery to radiotherapy.

    Official Newsletter of APSOPRS 2016 Volume 2 Issue 4 Asia-Pacific Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery President Message: Hirohiko Kakizaki APSOPRS President Dear APSOPRS colleagues, Hirohiko Kakizaki (Japan) Season’s greetings during mid-summer! It has been 2 years since the new council APSOPRS Vice-Presidents started, and now at the last Hunter Yuen (Hong Kong, SAR) corner. Gangadhara Sundar (Singapore) The first thing we did was Kasturi Bhattacharjee (India) the move of the secretariat from Singapore to Japan. The most important matter was managing the members. At the time, the number of the official members were only 77, which means only Editor 77 members paid the fee to the society. The society Audrey Looi (Singapore) had 197 past (unpaid) members, though. I was very surprised at this reality as the APSOPRS is the representative society in this area and an affiliated Editorial Board society of APAO. In addition, the APSOPRS has been a reciprocal society of the ASOPRS. This matter was Ashok Grover (India) simply caused by the bothersome payment system. We before had only two methods of payment: one Kelvin Chong (Hong Kong, SAR) was the direct payment at a conference venue and Yoon-Duck, Kim (South Korea) the other was via bank transfer, the latter of which needs a complicated procedure. We therefore Lily Li Dong Mei (China) simplified the payment system using the Paypal via Raoul Henson (Philippines) web. As a result, the number of the paying members has increased to 112 by now. This is not Sunny Shen (Singapore) enough, of course, so please invite your colleagues and try to catch up with the ASOPRS and ESOPRS! In relation to this membership management, we have launched the “life membership” system.

OBSERVATION Three patients developed severe toxic keratopathy after orofacial surgery on the left side with general anesthesia. All patients underwent surgery in the right lateral tilt position with ocular protection but reported irritation and redness in their right eyes after the operation. Alcohol-containing antiseptic solutions were used for presurgical preparation. Ophthalmic examination showed decreased visual acuity ranging from 20/100 to 20/400, corneal edema and opacity, anterior chamber reaction, or stromal neovascularization in the patients’ right eyes. Confocal microscopy showed moderate to severe loss of corneal endothelial cells in all patients. Despite prompt treatment with topical corticosteroids, these Author Affiliations: Department of Ophthalmology, National Taiwan 3 patients eventually required cataract surgery, endothelial keratoplasty, or penetrating University Hospital, College of keratoplasty, respectively.
