ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the ideal methods for correction of lower eyelid retraction by lateral canthal anchoring.Methods The authors retrospectively reviewed the records of 126 patients(207 eyelids) operated on between June 1999 and 2005 by one senior surgeon.The age of the patients ranged from 28 to 72 years(mean,46 years).Transcanrhal canthopexy was used in 20 patients(33 eyes);The 3 mm tarsal strip procedure was used in 35 patients(57 eyes);Transcanrhal canthopexy combined with Hamra's lower blepharoplasty was used in 26 patients(45 eyes).The tarsal strip procedure combined with Hamra's procedure was used in 45 patients(72 eyes).75 patients(123 eyes) were followed up for 6~12 months.Mean follow-up time was 8 months. Results Of them,125 patients were uniformly satisfied with their cosmetic and functional outcome at last follow-up;one patient had undercorrection of retraction.There were no major complications and only one minor complications(corneal irritation from graft sutures),which resolved in the early follow-up period.Conclusions The lateral canthal anchoring is an effective,aesthetic,and functional treatment for moderate to severe lower eyelid retraction resulting from multiple causes.This procedure is associated with predictable results,a low morbidity rate,and high patient satisfaction.
