[A case of corneal and conjunctival damage caused by suture exposure after buried-suture clouble-eyelid blepharoplasty].

A 52-year-old female patient experienced red eyes and eye pain for more than one year due to suture exposure in the left eye after double eyelid plasty with the embedding suture method. She visited several hospitals outside and was diagnosed with keratitis and conjunctival mass in the left eye. After anti-inflammatory and anti-infection treatments, the condition relapsed. She visited our hospital, and the exposed suture was removed. After a review half a year later, the conjunctival granuloma in the left eye disappeared, and the corneal ulcer lesion transformed into corneal pannus. This case suggests that ophthalmologists should conduct detailed eye examinations for patients with a history of double eyelid plasty, discover and handle suture exposure problems in time to improve prognosis.
