Subendothelial blebs were seen in cases of superficial keratopathy of varied etiology: superficial punctate keratopathy (42 patients); keratoconjunctivitis sicca (11 patients); epithelial basement membrane dystrophy (9 patients); mild superficial keratopathy due to exposure (9 patients), trichiasis
The Hughes' tarsoconjunctival flap technique has proved to be a reliable operative procedure for the treatment of large lower-lid defects for more than 55 years. The Hughes' procedure has maintained its importance despite the development of numerous other operations, two reasons for this being that
The authors reviewed 44 tarsoconjunctival grafts performed from 1983 to 1993 to determine the nature and severity of complications related to these grafts. Follow-up ranged from 3 weeks to 10 years, with a mean of 23 months. The complications were categorized as none, minor, or major. A complication

To resect benign tumors on the palpebral margin using an improved minimally invasive surgery, and to observe the outcome and analyze the possible healing mechanism of this improved surgical technique.Fifty-five patients with a benign tumor on the palpebral Two patients with progressive, diffuse precancerous melanosis (intraepithelial atypical melanocytic hyperplasia or melanocytic dysplasia) of the conjunctiva were treated with cryotherapy. In one patient, the contiguous cutaneous portions of both eyelids were involved and received the same therapy;
