  4. Dear Dr. Optometrist Prime: • We have a 2 year old beautiful baby boy who was born with the eyelid presentation as seen in the photograph below. • We would like a second opinion from you as to what ails our son (diagnosis)? • We are financially strapped and have no medical or eye insurance. • If we let it alone, will it get better on its own? • What would be the worse possible outcome? • If we opted to just obtain an evaluation from you today, what would this entail? • Signed: • Concerned Mother

  5. REVIEW OF LID ANATOMY • Functions of Eyelids • Protect globe from injury or excess light • Form a mechanical barrier • Maintain optical clarity by resurfacingtears • Assist immune system • Part of “native immunity” when acting as a barrier • Remove pathogens in tears • Replenish immunological substances which inhibit bacterial growth • Lysozyme, lactoferrin, beta lysin • Immunoglobulins

  6. Muscles • Levator (LPS) • Functions • Raises upper eyelid • Works with orbicularis in both involuntary blinking and forced lid closure • Innervated by cranial nerve III • Starts at superior part of orbital apex and attaches to the front of the superior tarsal plate

  7. Dysfunction of levator causes ptosis • Mechanical ptosis: heavy lid, usually from lid mass (chalazion) • Myogenic “ptosis”: age-related or inherited levator deterioration • Neurogenic “ptosis”: due to CN III lesion causing poor levator function (diabetic stroke)

  8. Mueller’s muscle • Functions • Maintains tonus of elevated upper lid • Maintains tonus of opened lower lid • Innervated by sympathetic nervous system • Originates on underside of levator and attaches to upper border of superior tarsal plate • Dysfunction of Mueller’s muscle > slight ptosis, inverse ptosis (1-3mm) Slide 3a

  9. Orbicularis • Functions • Closes lids • Involuntary regular blinking • Forced voluntary blinking • Maintains apposition of lacrimal drainage apparatus against globe • Innervated by cranial nerve VII (which also innervates muscles of cheeks and mouth)

  10. Muscles is elliptically shaped • Attached to nasal and temporal edges of orbit by medial and lateral palpebral ligaments • “Palpebral” portion in lid only; responsible for involuntary blinking • “Orbital” portion in forehead, temples, and cheeks; responsible for forced lid closure

  11. Dysfunction of orbicularis • Lesion of CN VII causes paresis or paralysis of orbicularis and also some facial muscles • Bell’s palsy • Lagophthalmos • Loss of tonus of orbicularis and its ligaments allows puncta to fall away with resulting epiphora • Entropion resulting from forced lid closure; due to reduced tonus of lower orbicularis with inability to return lower lid margin to its normal position

  12. Tissue • Skin • Thinnest skin in the body • 10 times more clinically sensitive to allergens than elsewhere in the body • Very loose, stretchy skin allows for considerable expansion of lid contents • Recurrent edema and aging can cause loss of elasticity of the skin • Areolar tissue • Connective tissue • Soft, loose, spongy • Easily distended

  13. Eyelashes • Derived from hair follicles at lid margin • Highly sensitive • Glands located near lash follicle • Glands of Moll (sweat) • Glands of Zeis (sebaceous)

  14. Tarsal Plate • Fibrous “skeleton” of lids • Give shape and firmness to eyelids • Meibomian glands located deep in tarsal plates • Provide oily top layer of tears • Secrete oil layer which acts as a barrier preventing spillover of tears onto lid

  15. Blood Vessels • Arteries • Ophthalmic artery branches • Lacrimal artery branches • Empty into the veins of the forehead and temple

  16. Lymphatics • Lympathics in posterior lid drain the conjunctiva and tarsal glands • Lympathics in anterior lid drain the skin and the associated skin structures • Lateral half of eyelids lympathics drain into the preauricular lymph node • Medial half of eyelids lymphatics drain into the submandibular lymph node

  17. Nerves • Motor supply • Orbicularis supplied by CN VII • Levator supplied by CN III • Sensory supply (pg. 79) • From first two divisions of trigeminal (CN V) • Ophthalmic division of trigeminal (VI) • Maxillary division of trigeminal (V2) • Upper lid mainly supplied by supraorbital nerve, part of frontal division, one of three divisions of V1

  18. Medial side of the upper lid assisted by: • Supratrochlear, part of the frontal division (one of three divisions of V1) • Infratrochlear, part of the nasociliary division (one of three divisions of V1) • Lateral side of the upper lid assisted by lacrimal nerve, one of three divisions of V1 • Lower lid supplied by infraorbital, one of the two divisions of V2

  19. Indigenous Flora of the Eyelids • Bacteria • Cultured from normal eyes • Species %of patients harboring S. epidermidis 37 S. aureus 17 Diphtheroids 1 Combination of above 35 Misc. 9 Total 99

  20. Most common anaerobe=propionibacterium acnes • Non-bacterial flora • Pityosporon ovale (orbiculare) • Yeast • No definitive pathogenic effect is known • Demodex folliculorum and D. Brevis (arthropods) • D. folliculorum in eyelash follicles • D. brevis in sebaceous glands

  21. Herpes simplex virus periodically excreted in tears without being associated with any disease process

  22. Skip! • Self study pages 5 thru 10

  23. Congenital ptosis • Onset at birth • Watch for other congenital anomalies • In patient beyond 1 or 2 years of age a ptosis will generally be acquired, however, congenital ptosis should be considered and ruled out • History • Superior lid sulcus (absent) • Old photos…“FAT scan”

  24. Differential diagnosis is very important since the congenital form is not usually accompanied by ongoing neurological disease (exception is neonatal myasthenia gravis) • Significance • Occlusion amblyopia • If significant degree of ptosis, get surgical consult to prevent occlusion amblyopia (pediatric ophthalmology consult)

  25. Types • Autosomal dominant • Approx. 70% are autosomal dominant • Check family members • Also look for other congenital anomalies • If obstructing pupil significantly > pediatric ophthalmology consult for surgical correction of ptosis

  26. SR palsy with LPS palsy • Isolated SR palsy congenital is very, rare • Look for vertical tropia in primary position with ptosis

  27. Paradoxical CN III innervation • Congenital > Marcus Gunn jaw-winking = ptosis accompanied by retraction during stimulation of ipsilateral pterygoid muscle. Amblyopia secondary to ptosis in 20% of these cases • Management: surgery for ptosis • Acquired > pseudo von Graefe sign

  28. Congenital Horner’s • Look for heterochromia irides (suggests onset prior to age 2) • Birth trauma • Not common at all • Neonatal myasthenia gravis

  29. Tips in diagnosing congenital ptosis • History (may be reliable) • Old untouched photos (most parents have lots of baby pictures) • Superior lid sulcus - absent • Lid lag (slight) in downgaze due to inelasticity of the lid

  30. Management aspects • If significant obstruction of pupil and/or apparent reduced acuity or dislike for fixation with the eye then consult with pediatric ophthalmologist is strongly advised. Ptosis must be eliminated to prevent occlusion amblyopia • Pediatric neurology (or ophthalmology) consult if congenital Horner’s or suggestion of neonatal myasthenia gravis

  31. Ankyloblepharon • Adhesions between upper and lower eyelids along the lid margin • Results from significant mucocutaneous disease, i.e., ocular pemphigoid or as a congenital anomaly • Usually at outer canthus (external ankyloblepharon). Can be inner canthus (internal) • Causes pseudostrabismus

  32. Symblepharon • Adhesion of the tarsal conjunctiva to the bulbar conjunctiva resulting generally from significant inflammatory disease, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, pemphigoid, alkali burn • Occurs as tarsal conjunctiva and bulbar conjunctiva heal • Prevention is easier than treatment > BID to QID breaking of adhesions with glass rod • Tx with cyclosporin…Restasis

  33. Vitiligo • Patchy depigmentation of the skin • In ocular disease skin of eyelids affected • Usually accompanied by depigmentation of lashes > poliosis • Alopecia > along with poliosis, vitiligo • R/O Cocaine use

  34. Entropion • Condition where the eyelid margin turns inward toward the globe - more common in lower lid • Significance • Can result in trichiasis, but not necessarily

  35. Types • Congenital entropion • Usually other developmental anomalies • Cause is usually deformity in tarsal plate development causing entropion • Management is surgical reformation of tarsal plate • Epiblepharon-horizontal lid skin fold physically pushing lashes toward globe (trichiasis). Management: surgical excision of excess skin

  36. Cicatricial entropion • Cicatrix = scar • Cicatricial entropion caused by scar on tarsal conjunctiva with contraction of scar tissue resulting in tractional entropion • Usual cause is inflammation of tarsal conjunctiva such as trachoma • Other causes…chemical injuries, lacerations, surgical procedures

  37. Spastic entropion • Caused by excessive contraction of palpebral portion of orbicularis (or very rarely atrophy of the lid retractors) • Most common cause is blepharospasm due to ocular irritation, injury, inflammation (conjunctivitis, keratitis, etc.)
