Waved with open eyelids 2 (woe2) is a novel autosomal recessive mouse mutation that arose spontaneously in our animal facility. Upon initial evaluation, mutant mice exhibited eyelids open at birth (EOB) and wavy fur phenotypes. The goals of this study were to phenotypically characterize the woe2 mice and to identify the gene harboring the mutation responsible for the woe2 phenotype. Histological analysis of woe2 embryos identified the failure of embryonic eyelid closure. Clinical and histological analysis of woe2 adult eyes identified severe corneal opacities, abnormalities of the anterior segment of the eye, and the absence of meibomian glands. Abnormalities in the fur texture and the absence of meibomian glands prompted us to evaluate other epidermal appendages: skin, teeth, and nails--as well as lacrimal, mammary, salivary, sebaceous and sweat glands. No obvious morphological differences between WT and woe2 mice were identified in these tissues. However, the analysis of woe2 identified cardiac

We present a facial wearable robot to support eyelid movement for patients with hemifacial paralysis. People with facial paralysis are not able to blink, which leads to dry eyes and could cause permanent damage to the cornea. To address this issue, we developed a robotic system to support eyelid movement on the paralyzed side based on voluntary eyelid movement on the healthy side. The robot has a novel mechanism for supporting eyelid movement and is made from soft material, which we call the eyelid gating mechanism (ELGM). We defined the requirements for eyelid manipulation. Then, we introduced design rules for the ELGM based on this definition, and conducted a deformation analysis. As a result, we could control deformation so that it is tailored to eyelid movement with simple rotational input at two hinged ends. This system provides appropriate support for eyelid movement in a non-invasive and gentle manner, based on voluntary eyelid movement on the healthy side. In this paper, we present a performance

Tarsorrhaphy is a surgical procedure in which the eyelids are partially sewn together to narrow the eyelid opening. It may be done to protect the cornea in cases of corneal exposure, as a treatment for Graves ophthalmopathy, Möbius syndrome or after corneal graft surgery. The procedure is performed on the corner of the eyelid opening. Eye surgery Keratoconjunctivitis sicca Tarsorrhaphy. Encyclopedia of Surgery. Archived from the original on 18 April 2015.

Purpose. Orbicularis oculi muscle tension and muscle blood flow have been shown to be objective measures of eyestrain during visually demanding activities, such as computer work. In line with this, positive associations between eye-related pain and muscle blood flow in orbicularis oculi have been observed. A hypothesis regarding work situations with cognitive tasks and low-level muscle activity, such as computer work, proposes that muscle pain originates from the blood vessel-nociceptor interactions of the connective tissue of the muscle. Noninvasive muscle blood flow measurements in the orbicularis oculi muscle are preferable to using an invasive technique. The aim of this study was to test reproducibility and stability of muscle blood recordings in orbicularis oculi using photoplethysmography. Methods. In the reproducibility tests, 12 subjects were tested twice within 1 to 5 weeks. To study the stability of the method, six of the subjects were randomly selected and tested four more times ...

An eyelid is a thin fold of skin that covers and protects the human eye. The levator palpebrae superioris muscle retracts the eyelid to open the eye. This can be either voluntarily or involuntarily. The human eyelid features a row of eyelashes along the eyelid margin, which serve to heighten the protection of the eye from dust and foreign debris, as well as from perspiration. Palpebral (and blepharal) means relating to the eyelids. Its key function is to regularly spread the tears and other secretions on the eye surface to keep it moist, since the cornea must be continuously moist. They keep the eyes from drying out when asleep. Moreover, the blink reflex protects the eye from foreign bodies. The eyelid is made up of several layers; from superficial to deep, these are: skin, subcutaneous tissue, orbicularis oculi, orbital septum and tarsal plates, and palpebral conjunctiva. The meibomian glands lie within the eyelid and secrete the lipid part of the tear film. The skin is similar to areas ...

article{76e7f8bb-e206-4efa-8c25-e4fff7991ded, abstract = {,p,BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The eyelids are susceptible to a number of skin cancers, which are challenging to excise radically without sacrificing excessive healthy tissue. Photoacoustic (PA) imaging is an emerging non-invasive biomedical imaging modality that could potentially be used for intraoperative micrographic control of the surgical margins of eyelid tumors. In this study, non-cancerous human eyelid tissue was characterized using PA as a first step in the development of this technique.,/p,,p,STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twelve full-thickness samples from nine patients were analyzed ex vivo using PA imaging. Two-dimensional PA images were acquired using 59 wavelengths in the range of 680-970 nm to obtain the spectral signatures of the skin, orbicularis oculi muscle, and the tarsal plate. Three-dimensional images were obtained by scanning the tissues using a linear stepping motor. Spectral unmixing was performed to ...

Phenylephrine test is one of the main factors determining the possibility of performing superior tarsal muscle resection. However, the influence of various factors on its result remains unexplored.Aim. To evaluate the effect of patient age, degree of ptosis, and levator muscle function on the result of the phenylephrine test.Patients and methods. 45 patients were examined (64 eyelids). The following examinations were performed for all patients: assessment of the degree of ptosis, levator muscle function and the phenylephrine test.Results. Age and the degree of ptosis do not affect the results of the phenylephrine test. Reduced levator muscle function leads to a decrease of the phenylephrine test results.Conclusion. The phenylephrine test remains an important criteria for patient selection for the planning superior tarsal muscle resection. Levator muscle function does affect the phenylephrine test result.

Background. For the patients seeking secondary upper blepharoplasty, a static double-eyelid fold featuring an immobile lower flap and depression of the fold is common.. Objectives. In this study, the authors propose a novel technique of reconstructing pretarsal tissue defects (PTDs) to converting static folds to dynamic folds.. Methods. A total of 203 patients with static folds underwent revision surgery. After complete adhesion release of the lower flap, a PTD was identified, which was defined as an area deficient of orbicularis oculi muscle in front of the tarsal plate. If the width of the PTD was over 2 mm, tissue transfer was performed to reconstruct the PTD, usually with a free retro-orbicularis oculus fat graft or a pretarsal orbicularis oculi flap.. Results. Among the 105 patients with severe static folds, 67 received retro-orbicularis oculus fat grafts and 38 received orbicularis oculi muscle flaps. This technique converted a static fold into a dynamic fold. The surgery satisfaction rate ...

The aponeurosis of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle has been cut back so that the entire extent of the tarsal muscle is visible. Smooth muscle fibers are less evident in the extreme lateral and medial parts of this layer. The orbital septum does not appear to be a complete membrane in the lateral and inferior parts of the orbit, but rather consists of fibrous bands intermingled with lobules of fat. The layer of connective tissue which extended betweeen the orbicularis oculi muscle and the orbital septum has been completely removed ...

The eyelid is divided into two lamellae, the anterior skin-muscle and the posterior tarso conjunctival lamella [3], [5]. The orbicularis muscle is divided into pretarsal, preseptal, and orbital orbicularis depending on the structure immediately posterior to it. Posteriorly, the tarsus is plate of dense connective tissue that occupies the inferior aspect of the upper eyelid [6]. The upper eyelid crease is formed by insertion of the fascial extensions of the levator aponeurosis, through the orbicularis muscle, to the skin. The upper eyelid crease runs parallel to the eyelid margin [5]. There are various types of flaps available in the management of upper eyelid defects, which include sliding flaps, advancement flaps, island flaps, and transposition flaps [3], [4]. The advancement flap is a modality of skin defect closure via mobilization of tissue along a linear direction [7]. In the advancement flap, the surrounding skin is fashioned, raised, and advanced on its own long axis to close the ...

Ptosis (pronounced toe sis), or drooping of the upper eyelid, may occur for several reasons such as: disease, injury, birth defect, previous eye surgery, eyelid rubbing, eyelid manipulation from contact lens use, and age.. Usually ptosis is caused by a weakness of the levator muscle (muscle that raises the lid), a partial detachment of the muscle from the skeleton of the eyelid (the tarsus), or a problem with the nerve that sends messages to the muscle. Patients often have difficulty blinking, which may lead to irritation, infection and eyestrain. Chronic attempts to keep the droopy eyelid open can actually result in a dry eye problem.. Ptosis does not usually improve with time, and nearly always requires corrective surgery. In most cases, surgery is performed to strengthen or tighten the levator muscle and lift the eyelid. If the levator muscle is especially weak, the lid and eyebrow may be lifted. Ptosis surgery and upper eyelid blepharoplasty surgery are the most common reconstructive ...

The external surface of each eyelid is lined by thin skin which is attached to loose connective tissue, below which lies the palpebral part of orbicularis oculi. The internal surface is lined by the conjunctiva, a mucous membrane. At the margin of the eyelid there are numerous hairs (eyelashes). The internal structure of the eyelid contains the tarsal plate, a fibrous structure that gives the eyelid shape and provides an attachment for muscles. The tarsus is connected to the orbital septum superior/inferior. Each tarsus has an associated smooth muscle (superior/inferior tarsal muscle) which is under sympathetic control; the superior tarsus is the point of insertion of the levator palpebrae superioris ...

Visual health consists of many aspects of the eye, including parts you cannot see on the surface of the eye. Learning the structures and functions of the eye are the best way to understand how to keep the eyes healthy and why eye diseases may occur. Here is an overview of the anatomy of the human eye.. Eyelid. The eyelid consists of two movable folds which protect the eye. At the edge of the eyelid are 2 to 3 rows of eyelashes, called CILIA. The eyelids consist of multiple layers. From outer to inner most layer: the skin, subcutaneous areolar, orbicularis layer, orbital septum, superior levator palpebrae muscle, muscle of muller, tarsal plate, and palpebral conjunctiva.. Fun fact: When you see someone flipping their eyelid over, that pinkish area is called the palpebral conjunctiva. This is an immunologically active layer filled with macrophages and mast cells, which provide a defense against foreign invaders.. Lacrimal System. The lacrimal system produces and drains the tears. The LACRIMAL ...

An orbit defect with loss of the eye and its delicate lid structures can be concealed with an implant anchored silicon facial prosthesis. This method assures secure retention and good esthetic results as long as the eye remains open. However, when the healthy lid closes, the immobility of the prosthesis becomes conspicuous. The aim of this development was to animate the artificial lid in the orbita prosthesis to give the patient a much more natural appearance. All components in the prosthesis were integrated to create an artificial lid that would blink in synchrony with that of the healthy eye. The material which proved to be most suited for the moveable eyelid was cast latex milk. It was elastic, would take dyes and was robust enough to withstand approximately 30 involuntary lid movements per minute. The artificial upper lid was pulled up behind the eye prosthesis by means of a fine thread, analogous to the natural lid opener. This is driven by a DC micromotor which lifts the upper lid in a ...

Blepharoptosis (blef-uh-rahp-TOH-sis) or ptosis (TOH-sis) is a drooping of the upper eyelid that may affect one or both eyes. The eyelid may droop only slightly or may droop enough to cover the pupil and block vision. Blepharoptosis can occur in adults or children. When present at birth, it is called congenital blepharoptosis, and is usually caused by poor development or weakness of the levator muscle that lifts the eyelid. If left untreated while a childs vision is developing, blepharoptosis can lead to amblyopia (lazy eye). In adults blepharoptosis is usually caused by aging, eye surgery, or disease affecting the levator muscle or its nerve. In both children and adults, blepharoptosis can be corrected with surgery.. ...

The word blepharoplasty is derived from the Greek words Blepharon, meaning eyelid, and plastos, meaning formed. Blepharoplasty surgery is one of the oldest described treatments of the aging face. The goal of surgery is to remove excess tissue which causes and overhang of skin leading to cosmetic (poor appearance) or functional (reduced field of vision) consequences. The first recorded blepharoplasty surgery was by a Spanish surgeon, Albucasis, a pioneer in the creation of surgical instrumentation, including the use of cautery (to control bleeding) in 1000 A.D.. Modern blepharoplasty techniques have certainly come a long way. Current upper lid blepharoplasty procedures focus on the excision of variable amounts of skin, muscle, and fat. An increased interest in lower lid blepharoplasty surgery has also evolved. Lower blepharoplasty surgery primarily focuses on preventing lower eyelid droop (ectropion, retraction) and hollowing (volume depletion). These complications are inherent to the more ...

Surgery is usually the best treatment for drooping eyelids. The surgeon tightens the levator muscles to restore the eyelids to their normal position. In very severe cases involving weakened levator muscles, the surgeon attaches the eyelid under the eyebrow to allow the forehead muscles to substitute for the levator muscles in lifting the eyelid. Eyelid surgery is also known as blepharoplasty.. After surgery, the eyelids may not appear symmetrical, even though the lids are higher than before surgery. Very rarely, eyelid movement may be lost.. It is important to choose your blepharoplasty surgeon carefully, since a poorly-done surgery could result in a less than desirable appearance or in dry eyes caused by your lids not being able to close properly after surgery. Before agreeing to ptosis surgery, ask how many procedures your surgeon has done. Also ask to see before-and-after photos of previous patients, and ask if you can talk to any of them about their experience.. ...

It has been known that the development of skin creases on the sole of the foot occurs in late intrauterine life and that after birth this is a helpful clinical sign to determine gestational age. Until 36 weeks of gestation there are only one or two transverse skin creases on the anterior part of the sole. The posterior two-thirds of the sole are smooth. By 37 to 38 weeks of gestation more creases have appeared and in the full-term infant there is a complex series of criss-crossed creases covering the entire sole.. Since no racial differences in the presence or absence of this sign have ever been published a study was designed to compare the development of skin creases on the sole of the foot between Caucasian and Negro newborn infants.. ...

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure intended to reshape the upper eyelid or lower eyelid and is performed to improve peripheral vision and give a rejuvenated appearance to the surrounding area of your eyes, making you look more rested and alert. Blepharoplasty repairs droopy eyelids by removing excess skin, muscle and fat. Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is almost always done for cosmetic reasons, to improve puffy lower eyelids bags and reduce the wrinkling of skin. Blepharoplasty is performed through external incisions made along the natural skin lines of the eyelids, such as the creases of the upper lids and below the lashes of the lower lids, or from the inside surface of the lower eyelid.

Kinematics of bilateral eyelid and eye movements and concomitant orbicularis oculi activity during voluntary blinking and air-puff- and acoustic-click-induced reflex blinking were determined by using the magnetic search coil technique and electromyographic recording of the orbicularis oculi muscle (OO-EMG). RESULTS. In the first 3 months of absence of OO-EMG activity, reduced eyelid and eye movement of the palsied eyelid were observed during all types of blinking. First OO-EMG activity was determined 3 months after onset of the affliction. After 1 year, OO-EMG activity was normalized and showed values similar to those on the nonpalsied side. Clinically, eyelid movements were normal after 1 year, although corresponding maximum amplitudes and corresponding velocities were two times smaller, expressed in reduced eyelid motility. Directions of eye movement during ...

Haploinsufficiency of the FOXL2 transcription factor in humans causes Blepharophimosis/Ptosis/Epicanthus Inversus syndrome (BPES), characterized by eyelid anomalies and premature ovarian failure. Mice lacking Foxl2 recapitulate human eyelid/forehead defects and undergo female gonadal dysgenesis. We report here that mice lacking Foxl2 also show defects in postnatal growth and embryonic bone and cartilage formation. Foxl2 (-/-) male mice at different stages of development have been characterized and compared to wild type. Body length and weight were measured and growth curves were created. Skeletons were stained with alcian blue and/or alizarin red. Bone and cartilage formation was analyzed by Von Kossa staining and immunofluorescence using anti-FOXL2 and anti-SOX9 antibodies followed by confocal microscopy. Genes differentially expressed in skull vaults were evaluated by microarray analysis. Analysis of the GH/IGF1 pathway was done evaluating the expression of several hypothalamic-pituitary-bone ...

Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that corrects drooping lower eyelids or bags, wrinkles or excess skin around the lower eyelids, according to the American Society of Plastic...

The orbicularis oculi muscle has been removed except for remnants of its origins medially. The tarsal plate (4) of the upper eyelid has been exposed together with the corrugator supercilii muscle (2) and nerves emerging through the orbital septum. The skeleton of the nose has been exposed. In the oral region muscle fibers have been retracted to demonstrate the labial arteries (12,15). The masseter muscle has been freed from its zygomatic origin as well as its mandibular insertion and then reflected posteriorly. The masseteric nerve and vessels can thus be traced through the depths of the muscle from their entry point near its posterosuperior border. Close-up views which illustrate more details of this dissection are to be found as ...

Kitano Hospital,The Tazuke Kofukai Medical Research Institute. INTRODUCTION: During laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection (APR) for low rectal cancer, prevention of circumferential resection margin (CRM) involvement is important. Laparoscopic APR is superior to open APR because it allows for direct and precise visualization of the deep intrapelvic space. However, the local recurrence and survival rates after APR are reportedly not lower than those associated with anterior resection. One reason for this is the difficulty in properly resecting the levator muscles to prevent CRM involvement. We implemented a method that allows for resection of the levator muscles without closely approaching the rectal wall and that creates a cylindrical specimen.. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: The mesorectum is dissected caudally to the level of the levator muscle, ...

What Causes Ptosis?. There are multiple possible causes of ptosis. A common cause is the weakening of the muscles that control the eyelid; this weakening can occur in the muscles of both adults and children.. In adults, ptosis tends to develop because a tendon that attaches to the levator muscle - that is, the key muscle involved in lifting the eyelid - is stretched and weakened to the point that it no longer effectively pulls on the muscle. In children, its a delayed development of some sort that usually results in the levator muscle being too weak to do its job effectively. No matter what the cause of ptosis is, however, patients eventually suffer from sagging in one or both eyelids.. While weakened muscles are the most common cause of ptosis, it can also develop for other reasons. Alternatively, some neurologic or muscular diseases can affect the muscles and nerves in the eyelid and lead to ptosis. A traumatic event that affects the eye can also increase the risk of developing this ...

45 year-old male presented to Dr. Shridharanis cosmetic plastic surgery office, LUXURGERY, in New York requesting improvement his fatigued look. The patient states that he works as an executive and though he feels great, he always looks fatigued. He was looking to improve the appearance of his tired eyes and rejuvenate the appearance of the lower eyelids. He was requesting the incision to be placed on the underside of the eyelid so there would be NO external, visible scar. He underwent lower blepharoplasty (transconjuctival approach) and laser resurfacing to lower eyelids. He is pictured here 1 week prior to surgery and nearly 1 year after his procedure ...

Various techniques to correct the upper and the lower eyelid are available. It is important that the correct technique or the correct combinations of techniques are very carefully chosen after careful and detailed analysis of the anatomic changes as well as your wishes and expectations.. In the upper eyelid typically an area of skin and a strip of underlying musculature is removed. This is the so-called skin-muscle flap technique. If there is excessive fat around the eye that bulges into the upper eyelid skin, this may be removed at the same time. The skin cut maybe performed with a surgical knife or with a laser. Dr. Gassner prefers the surgical knife as he feels this affords greater precision. Moreover, the laser requires more extensive precautionary measures which includes placement of metal cap protectors on your eyeballs. These protectors may distort the anatomy of the upper eyelid during the surgery and may cause some imperfections in the placement of the incision.. For the lower eyelid ...

Results Eighteen eyelids of 17 patients received segment chains (mean weight 1.2 g, range 0.8-1.6 g) and 3 for exchange of pre-existing gold weights. Median follow-up was 10 (range 6-17) months. Mean blink lagophthalmos improved from 7 (3-10) mm to 3 (0-6) mm (p,0.0001), and gentle closure from 3.2 (0-8) mm to 1.1 (0-4.9) mm (p=0.0004). Twelve patients (71%) reported no prominence, and the remainder, mild prominence only. The chain was graded as having no prominence in 78% (14/18) eyelids. Two required segment adjustments with removal of a single 0.2 g segment at 11 months and transfer of 0.4 g segment to the contralateral eyelid at 16 months, respectively. One complication (posterior, trans-conjunctival exposure above the superior border of the tarsal plate) was seen 12 months post surgery, requiring repositioning. ...

Veins on eyelids - I was wondering are noticeable veins on eyelids bad? Not usually. If the blood vessels are associated with swelling, itching, or styes, then it might be an eyelid manifestation of acne rosacea. It is treatable. In the absence of associated problems, there is nothing bad about visible veins on the eyelids.

When using gadgets and looking at digital screens, the eyes will focus to this near range object. As such, the eye blinking rate (BR) can reduce from resting BR of 15 per minute to about 5 per minute.. Furthermore, children who use gadgets may be utilizing adult size furniture. For example, using a laptop while sitting on a lower seating height adult chair will cause them to look up when viewing the screen, leading to a larger eyelid opening. This causes the rate of evaporation of tears to increase. A larger eyelid opening, combined with reduced amount of blinking to around 5 times per minute will result in dry points that can cause small lesions on the surface of the cornea, called superficial Punctate Epithelial Erosions (PEE). Some symptoms of the PEE include sense of dry eye, red eye, foreign body sensation, photophobia and burning sensation. Proper diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of PEE can only be determined by an eye care professional. It may be treated with artificial tears or ...

In the first place, you also need to choose the right clinic, surgical facility or hospital to ensure that you will get world-class care, regardless of how simple or complex your case might be ...

The upper and lower eyelids, like all facial skin, become loose and saggy with age. The corrective surgery to counteract this is known as Blepharoplasty. It can not only take years off your appearance, but, in the case of the upper lids, can improve vision.. Sagging upper eyelids can not only add years to a persons appearance, but can also make a person look tired or angry. In many cases, drooping eyelids can also interfere with vision. To remedy this, Dr. Nelson can make an incision that is hidden in the upper crease of the eyelid and remove excess skin giving the upper lid a smooth, rested appearance and removing it from the field of vision.. Dr Nelson has been appointed as Laureate and Distinguished Fellow of the American Council Of Plastic Surgeons.. ...

Blepharoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure requiring local anesthesia and sedation. General anesthesia may be used for anxious patients. Patients can choose to have this procedure on their upper or lower eyelids, or both. The procedure can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on whether both the upper and lower eyelids are operated on.. If the upper eyelid is being operated on, an incision is typically made along its natural crease. Once the incision is made, fat deposits are repositioned or removed, muscles and tissue are tightened, and excess skin is removed. For the lower eyelid, an incision is usually made just below the lash line so that excess skin can be removed.. After the procedure, the incisions are closed with sutures, tissue glue or surgical tape, and usually loosely covered with gauze so the area can heal.. ...

This procedure is a good choice for a mild to moderate amount of ptosis with good levator function and a response to phenylephrine.[7] Since it is a posterior approach and leaves no visible scar, MMCR is a great option in patients without excess upper eyelid skin.

In the dog and cat, it is possible to save the eye if it is not badly damaged or infect. This is done by doing lateral canthotomy (which I did in this hamster) to enlarge the ocular space, push back the eyeball, give antibiotics and anti-inflammatory, stitch up the upper and lower eyelids (tarsorrhaphy) to protect the eyeball and keeping it moist. In 14-21 days review the eyeball and remove the stitches. In tarsorrhaphy, the eyelids are not snipped off. An e-collar is then worn. All these are not possible for the hamster esp. the post-op care as the hamster hates the e-collar and will get rid of it in no time. The hamster may not eat or survive after such a drastic surgery. So, removing the popped out eyeball is the practical option. ...

Labeled structures include the superior and inferior rectus muscles, inferior oblique muscle, orbicularis oculi muscle, optic nerve, fovea, choroid, sclera, posterior chamber, retina, vitreous chamber, lens, iris, pupil and cornea.

Individual muscles tend to be a mixture of various fiber types, but their proportions vary depending on the actions of that muscle and the species. For instance, in humans, the quadriceps muscles contain ~52% type I fibers, while the soleus is ~80% type I.[29] The orbicularis oculi muscle of the eye is only ~15% type I.[29] Motor units within the muscle, however, have minimal variation between the fibers of that unit. It is this fact that makes the size principal of motor unit recruitment viable. The total number of skeletal muscle fibers has traditionally been thought not to change. It is believed there are no sex or age differences in fiber distribution; however, proportions of fiber types vary considerably from muscle to muscle and person to person. Sedentary men and women (as well as young children) have 45% type II and 55% type I fibers.[citation needed] People at the higher end of any sport tend to demonstrate patterns of fiber distribution e.g. endurance athletes show a higher level of ...
