Ocular findings in cutis laxa acquisita.
OBJECTIVE
To report ocular findings in a patient with cutis laxa acquisita.


METHODS
Case report


RESULTS
A 44-year-old man complained of excessively loose skin for 4 years and had no family history of skin disease. Dermatological examination showed lax and wrinkled skin all over his body. He had bilateral subconjunctival fat prolapse and dermatochalasis.


CONCLUSIONS
This case of acquired form of cutis laxa is noteworthy because subconjunctival fat prolapse and dermatochalasis are uncommon at this relatively young age.
