<b><i>Objectives:</i></b> To evaluate dry eye (DE) and associated meibomian gland dysfunction parameters after Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This is a prospective observational case series. Patients who underwent ICL implantation without previous ocular diseases or ophthalmic treatments were enrolled. Their Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), noninvasive breakup time (NIBUT), meibography, slit-lamp examination of the lid margin, corneal fluorescein staining (CFS), and Schirmer test I were examined preoperatively and at 1 and 3 months postoperatively. <b><i>Results:</i></b> A total of 117 eyes of 60 patients were enrolled, and 107 eyes completed 3-month follow-up period. OSDI, lid marginal abnormality, and meibomian gland (MG) secretion, and meibum quality score were significantly higher at 1 month postoperatively and recovered partially at 3 months after surgeries, while NIBUT was significantly decreased all the time. Patients with previous DE symptoms (OSDI score ≥12) showed not only lower Schirmer and TBUT values but also higher CFS, lid margin score, MG loss, MG secretion, and meibum quality scores compared with those in the control group after operations. Low Schirmer, NIBUT values, and high meibum quality score were determined as risk factors for DE symptoms after ICL surgery. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> ICL implantation has a bad influence on the ocular surface and MG functions. The influence may be more obvious in patients with existing DE.

AIM: To evaluate tear lm status in cases of Parkinson's Disease and compare with a study group METHODS:50 patients of Parkinson's Disease and 50 age-gender matched controls were included in this study. Both groups underwent detailed history regarding dry eye symptoms,tear lm evaluation using slit-lamp bio-microscopy, uorescein staining, tear meniscus height, tear breakup time, Schirmer test, blink rate. Statistical analysis was done with Statistical Package for Social Sciences [SPSS] - Version 22.0 Released 2013 version RESULTS: There was a signicant difference between the various groups in terms of distribution of Meibomian Gland Disease 72.0% of the Case group as compared to 40% of control group had Meibomian Gland Disease,There was a signicant difference between the various groups in terms of distribution of Tear Meniscus Height <0.25Mm , Case group had the larger proportion of Tear Meniscus Height of <0.25Mm .There was a signicant difference between the various groups in terms of distribution of Tear Breakup Time <5 Sec, Schirmer's Test <5Mm in 5Min and Blink Rate <10 .There was no signicant difference between the various groups in terms of distribution of corneal Staining and dry eye symptoms. CONCLUSION: The study concluded that patient of Parkinson's disease had higher dry eye symptoms and Meibomian gland disease Also they have reduced Tear miniscus height,Tear lm break up time,Schirmer test I and Blink rate

This chapter reviews eyelid malpositions, benign and malignant tumors, infections, and inflammatory diseases of the eyelid. Eyelid lesions can originate in any layer or structure within the eyelid and eyelid adnexa. Benign tumors of the eyelid can often be diagnosed based on their characteristic appearance. A biopsy should be performed if an eyelid lesion is not easily diagnosed based on clinical appearance. Blepharitis and meibomitis are very common disorders. Despite their prevalence, these diseases are often overlooked and misdiagnosed. Meibomian gland dysfunction is a major cause of evaporative dry eye and can occur along with aqueous deficient dry eye. Bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites can cause infection of the eyelids in different locations, anterior, posterior, angular, which can have different courses, acute, intermediate, or chronic. This chapter also contains photos with a rare disorder, Urbach-Wiethe disease, demonstrating the lesions of lipoid proteinosis at the lower and upper eyelids.
