THE COSMETIC AND FUNCTIONAL OUTCOMES OF COMBINED SURGERY FOR PERIOCULAR AGING; CHANGES IN VISUAL FIELD AND CORNEAL TOPOGRAPHY

Abstract

AIM: 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
