Ophthalmol Update Jan ;12(3):172-4.

Objective: To evaluate the pattern of eyelid diseases as observed in oculoplasty OPD for surgical management in a tertiary care hospital of KPK. Material and Methods: A prospective study of interventional case series was carried out at Department of Ophthalmology, Govt Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar from July 2011 to Jan 2013. We studied 450 cases from the outdoor department for surgical management. Nonprobability convenience sampling technique was used. Data was collected on special proforma and was analyzed with the help of SPSS Version16. Results: The study comprised 450 cases of eyelid trauma, age ranged between 01 to 40 years (Mean = 25 years). About 47.2% patients were between age of 21 and 40 years. The most common cause of eyelid lesion presented was eyelid trauma (36.2%). Tumors (23.3%), chronic dacryocystitis (12%), ptosis (14%), entropion (8.6%) and ectropion (4.2%). Conclusion: Commonest presentation of eyelid lesion in our setup is eyelid trauma. Benign tumors are common than malignant and have better cosmetic outcome. Late presentation is common in malignant tumors. Good outcome was seen in young patients. Lid trauma and malignant eyelid tumors need special care while operating for surgical reconstruction because these are the challenging disorders to be repaired as early as possible.
