Senile ectropion

Introduction to senile palsy Senile valgus valgus is caused by the loosening of the eyelid skin of the elderly, the weakening of the orbicularis oculi and the internal and external patellar ligaments, the decrease of tension, and the attraction of the earth and the weight of the jaw, as well as the valgus valgus. The separation of the eyelids from the eyeballs and the tears, coupled with the unreasonable pattern of tearing for many years, is more serious about the degree of valgus, especially the 1/2 of the lateral side of the lower jaw. basic knowledge The proportion of illness: 0.001% Susceptible people: the elderly Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: valgus valgus

Causes of senile valgus valgus

Due to the weakening of the orbital muscle function of the elderly, the eyelid skin and the external iliac ligament are also loose, so that the eyelid can not only stick to the eyeball, and is caused by the weight of the lower jaw.

Senile valgus valgus prevention

Generally, eye correction surgery is performed. First, the diaphragm is strengthened, the orbicularis muscle is lifted, and the excess skin is finally removed. However, some doctors mistakenly correct the correction of the bags under the eyes and neglect the tightening of the diaphragm and the orbicularis muscle. If the amount of skin removed is appropriate, and the diaphragm and the orbicularis muscle are not treated, the eye bags will recur quickly. If the skin is removed too much, it will be suitable for valgus valgus. In recent years, many scholars have agreed that the corrective operation of the eye bags, the strengthening of the septum, and the lifting of the orbicularis muscles are more important than the skin removal.

Senile valgus valgus complications Complications

Senile valgus valgus symptoms Common symptoms Eyelid valgus eyelids drooping upper eyelid thickening and relaxation

1, mild

Only the gingival margin leaves the eyeball, but tears overflow because it destroys the capillary action between the eyelid and the eyeball.

2, heavy

The valgus valgus, part or all of the sacral conjunctiva is exposed, so that the palpebral conjunctiva loses the tears of the wet, initially localized congestion, increased secretions, long dry and rough, highly hypertrophic, showing a horn. The squatting of the squat can leave the tear lake at the tears, causing tears. More severe, valgus valgus often has eyelid closure, the cornea loses protection, corneal epithelium dry and fall off, prone to cause keratitis or ulceration.

Examination of senile valgus valgus

It is easy to diagnose according to the patient's medical history and clinical manifestations.

Eye examination, eyelid examination.

Diagnosis of senile valgus valgus

After the eyelids are everted, the gingival margin leaves the eyeball, and the conjunctiva is dry and hypertrophic, and the surface is congested. The cornea is also dry, ulcers form, and eventually scars, which impair vision.
