| Abstract: | Case report: A 63-year-old man with bilateral conjunctivochalasis
presented with tearing, irritation,
foreign body sensation and a delayed fluorescein
clearance test. After no symptomatic improvement
with topical treatment, surgery was carried out,
with amniotic membrane transplantation and fibrin
sealant.
Discussion: Conjunctivochalasis is a frequent
disorder that shares symptoms with dry eye syndrome.
When there is no response to topical treatment,
surgical treatment is needed. The surgical technique
described by Tseng, and based on amniotic membrane
transplantation without suture, resulted in a
very useful response, due to less inflammation and
a rapid resolution and improvement of symptoms |
