Abstract
Involutional blepharoptosis is common among elderly people. The tightening of eyelids postptosis surgery could potentially increase friction between the eyelid and the ocular surface, but this hypothesis has not yet been substantiated by research. The authors explored the relationship between involutional blepharoptosis surgery and friction-related diseases, namely conjunctivochalasis, lid wiper epitheliopathy, and superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis.
