Abstract

Objectives: To compare the effectiveness of electrocoagulation and conventional medical drops for treatment of conjunctivochalasisusing anterior segment-optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT).Materials and Methods: Forty eyes of 20 patients with bilateral conjunctivochalasis were included in this prospective study. Twentyeyes of 10 patients were assigned to Group 1 and underwent electrocoagulation. The other 20 eyes of 10 patients were assigned to Group2 and received conventional medical treatment consisting of non-steroidal antiinflammatory drop (topical 0.5% ketorolac tromethamine)4 times a day and artificial tears (0.15% sodium hyaluronate) 6 times a day for 4 weeks. Before and 4 weeks after treatment, all patientswere evaluated by slit-lamp biomicroscopy, tear film break-up time (TBUT) test, and ocular surface disease index (OSDI) questionnaire.Tear meniscus height (TMH), tear meniscus area (TMA), and conjunctivochalasis area (CCA) were measured with AS-OCT.Results: In Group 1, posttreatment values of TMH, TMA, and TBUT were significantly higher (p
