ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The present study investigated the outcomes of nonsurgical treatment of abnormal eyelid position using hyaluronic acid gel.METHODS:
Abnormal eyelid position including 18 eyes with lid retraction, 10 eyes with lagophthalmos, and 18 eyes with ectropion were treated with hyaluronic acid gel. The mean age was 50 +/- 17.8 years and the mean observation period was 11 +/- 2.4 months. The photographs of patients were taken before injection, 1 month, 4 months, and at the last follow-up after injection. The marginal reflex distance 1 (MRD1) and marginal reflex distance 2 (MRD2) of patients were measured and analyzed by the Image J Program. The severity of ectropion was graded by a scoring system.RESULTS:
Ten eyes with lagopthalmos improved 1.9 +/- 1.2 mm after injection. The 16 eyes with lid retraction improved 1.3 +/- 0.9 mm. Twenty-three eyes with ectropion improved and 17 eyes (81%) were completely corrected. The average frequency of injection was 1.1 and the average dose of injection was 0.4 +/- 0.12 cc. No significant complications were observed in any patient.CONCLUSIONS:
Hyaluronic acid gel injections can be used safely and effectively as a nonsurgical treatment for patients with abnormal eyelid position without any significant complications.
