The Cosmetic and Functional Outcomes of Combined Surgery for Periocular Aging; Changes in Visual Field and Corneal Topography

Abstract

Purpose: 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.

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

Abstract

Amaç: Dermatoşalazisle birlikte bulunan diğer senil perioküler değişiklikleri olan olgularda kombine cerrahi ile ortaya çıkan görme alanı ve kornea topografik bulgularını değerlendirmek. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 40 hastanın 80 göz kapağı dahil edildi ve olgular ek göz kapağı patolojisi (Grup 1) ve ek kaş pitozu (Grup 2) olarak 2 gruba ayrıldı. Ameliyat öncesi ve sonrası 3. ayda Marjin Refleks Mesafesi-1 (MRD-1), yüksek bazlı topografi cihazı ile elde edilen kornea parametreleri ve görme alanı cihazı ile elde edilen görme alanı bulguları kaydedildi ve ayrıntılı oftalmolojik inceleme yapıldı. Bulgular: Her iki grupta MRD-1 değerlerinde ortalama 0.5 mm?lik yükselme gözlendi. Ameliyat sonrası her iki grupta görme alanında skotom varlığında ve MD ve PSD değerlerinde belirgin azalma (p <0.001) gözlendi. Kornea topografisi verileri arasında ön kamara derinliğinde ve astigmatizma ekseninde anlamlı bir değişiklik gözlenmezken; en düz (K1), en dik meridyen (K2) kırılma gücünde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı artış tespit edildi (p < 0.05). Postoperatif astigmatizma değeri preoperatif döneme göre Grup 1'de anlamlı olarak daha yüksek (p <0.001), Grup 2'de ise bu artış istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi (p = 0.599). Sonuçlar: Senil göz kapağı ve kaş değişikliklerinde farklı patolojilere yönelik uygulanan kombine cerrahiler sonrasında daha başarılı fonksiyonel ve kozmetik sonuçlar elde edilebilir.
