Beauty. Science. Safety. 🔬
Proud to share our newly published prospective study in International Ophthalmology, exploring the effect of upper eyelid blepharoplasty on the ocular surface and tear function.
Using Anterior Segment OCT (AS-OCT), we objectively evaluated tear meniscus parameters in 102 eyes from 51 patients, alongside established measures of tear production, tear-film stability, and patient-reported symptoms.
We observed temporary early postoperative changes in dry-eye symptoms and tear meniscus measurements. Importantly, tear production and tear-film stability did not demonstrate statistically significant changes during the study period.
At later follow-up intervals, the measured parameters were not statistically significantly different from their preoperative values.
Taken together, these findings are reassuring and suggest that uncomplicated upper eyelid blepharoplasty may not have a significant negative impact on tear function, while also highlighting the transient ocular-surface changes that can occur early after surgery.
This is why research matters: not to make absolute claims, but to measure, question, understand, and continuously refine the care we provide.
Because excellent eyelid surgery is not only about aesthetics. It is about balancing aesthetics, function, evidence, and patient safety.
