EYELIDS
and tear ducts
Eyelids are a highly complex structure that covers the eyeball. Given the complexity of their functions eyelids have a peculiar anatomy. A high degree of specialisation is required to treat eyelid problems.
Ocular protection
Eyelids are an important barrier against external debris and blink reflex protects the eyes from damages.
Tear distribution
Blinking distributes tears regularly over the ocular surface to keep it moist.
Regeneration
Eyelids contact with the surface of the eye stimulates corneal cellular regeneration.
What are the tear ducts?
Lacrimal (tear) ducts drain tears from the ocular surface to the nose. Tears need to pass through lacrimal points (on the internal edge of eyelids), the lacrimal duct and the lacrimal sac to complete this trajectory. Any damage in these organs may cause a specific dysfunction.
ASSOCIATED
PATHOLOGIES
Conditions that affect the eyelids and lacrimal ducts can be divided into two specific types – those related to ocular aesthetics (blepharoplasty) and specific pathologies as the following:
- Blepharitis.
- Hordeolum and chalazion.
- Trichiasis and dis-tichiasis.
- Entropion and ectropion.
- Blepharospasm.
- Palpebral ptosis.
- Facial paralysis (lagophthalmos).
- Palpebral tumours.
- Obstruction of tear ducts.
TREATMENT
Many pathologies require specific treatments:
- Pulsed light.
- Botulinum toxin.
- Blepharoplasty: surgery to remove excess skin and tissue from upper and lower eyelids.
- Surgery to remove lacrimal obstruction.
- Punctal plugs.
- LipiFlow®.
