PURPOSE: To describe the eyelid condition known as "floppy eyelid syndrome" and to present the results of our experience treating patients with floppy eyelid syndrome.
METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 16 patients from 2009 to 2013 who underwent combined medial canthopexy and lateral tarsal strip by two surgeons (HBL and WRN) for the treatment of floppy eyelid syndrome (FES). Age, gender, presence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), papillary conjunctivitis, punctate keratopathy and lash ptosis were recorded pre-operatively. Outcomes assessed included improvement in upper eyelid laxity, operative complications, post-operative symptomatic relief and delayed recurrence of FES.
RESULTS: A total of 18 procedures (on 36 eyelids) were performed on 16 patients over the 4-year period. All patients (18/18) had relief of symptoms and good functional results, defined as improvement in lid laxity and resolution of symptoms. Average follow up was 124days. 8 of 16 patients (50%) had a pre-existing diagnosis of OSA. The remaining 8 patients were referred for sleep study and 2 were subsequently diagnosed with OSA. Two patients experienced some degree of FES recurrence without return of symptoms. There was one complication reported in which a partial dehiscence of the lateral canthal tendon occurred which did not require operative revision.
CONCLUSIONS: Combined medial canthopexy and lateral tarsal strip are a safe and effective technique for the treatment of floppy eyelid syndrome. There is a strong association of FES and OSA and it is important to have any patient diagnosed with FES evaluated for OSA.
