Perioküler Yaşlanma İçin Yapilan Kombine Cerrahinin Kozmetik Ve Fonksiyonel Sonuçlari; Görme Alani Ve Kornea Topografisindeki Değişiklikler

Abstract

To evaluate the visual field and corneal topographic findings which occur with combined surgeries in patients who have other involutional periocular changes in association with dermatochalasis.Material and Method: Eighty eyelids of 40 patients were included in the study and the subjects were divided into 2 groups as additional eyelid pathology (Group 1) and additional eyebrow ptosis (Group 2). In the preoperative and postoperative 3rd month, Margin Reflex Distance-1 (MRD-1), corneal parameters obtained by high base topography device and visual field findings obtained by a visual field device were recorded and detailed ophtalmologic examination was performed. RESULTS:A mean elevation of 0.5 mm was observed in the MRD-1 values in both groups. Postoperatively, a marked reduction was observed in the rate of observing scotoma in the visual field and in MD and PSD values (p<0.001)in both groups. Among the corneal topography data, no significant change was observed in the anterior chamber depth and astigmatism axis, whereas a statistically significant increase was found in the strenght of refractivity of the most flat (K1), the most steep meridian (K2) (p<0.05). The postoperative astigmatism value was significantly higher in Group 1 (p<0.001) while the increase in Group 2 was not statistically significant (p=0.599). CONCLUSIONS:More successful functional and cosmetic outcomes can be obtained following combined surgeries directed to different pathologies in involutional eyelid and eyebrow changes.
