title: Recent Advances in Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery: Part 1-Eyelid.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The objective of this study was to provide an update of the current literature in ophthalmic and facial plastic surgery, specifically related to disorders of the eyelid.
  
  
  METHODS
  This was a review of published literature from January 2012 to June 2013 METHODS: The authors conducted a PubMed literature search of English-language articles published between January 2012 and June 2013 using the following search terms: eyelid, congenital, acquired, infection, inflammation, trauma, tumor, ptosis, entropion, ectropion, lagophthalmos, botulinum toxin, fillers, blepharoplasty, and miscellaneous topics related to the disorders of the eyelid. The authors included original articles, review articles, and case reports with relevant new information that is of potential clinical use to a comprehensive ophthalmologist as well as to the subspecialist.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Current literature on the disorders of the eyelid is replete with useful clinical information of relevance to a practicing ophthalmologist. Major advances have been reported in understanding of the surgical anatomy and its applications, ptosis, entropion, ectropion, lagophthalmos, infection, inflammation, trauma, and tumors.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There seems to be tremendous excitement in revisiting the anatomy and pathology and modifying the management protocols and surgical procedures to achieve optimal results, as the subspecialty continues to advance at a brisk pace.
