Scheimpflug imaging (Pentacam\u00aeAXL, Wetzlar), was performed preoperatively and at two weeks and three months postoperatively. The primary outcome was change in corneal astigmatism, assessed as the cylindrical component of total corneal refractive power (TCRP). Secondary outcomes included K1, K2, Kmax, Km, astigmatism axis and anterior chamber depth (ACD), front and back Keratometry (FK, BK).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The mean age of 67.0 \u00b1 8.7\u00a0years; 67% of patients were female (n\u2009=\u200930) and 33% male (n\u2009=\u200915).

Although some changes reached statistical significance, their clinical relevance was not established. Repeat corneal measurements after UEB may be considered before cataract or refractive surgery when precise refractive outcomes are intended. These findings do not establish a specific three-month waiting period or demonstrate an effect on intraocular lens (IOL) power calculations or final refractive outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10792-026-04285-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,3]],"date-time":"2026-10-03T05:31:36Z","timestamp":1791005496000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Corneal topographic changes after upper eyelid blepharoplasty prior to cataract surgery"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Kleopatra","family":"Varna-Tigka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sophia","family":"G\u00f6hring","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Myriam","family":"B\u00f6hm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yaroslava","family":"Wenner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Kohnen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,3]]},"reference":[{"issue":"7","key":"4285_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"551","DOI":"10.4103\/ijo.IJO_540_17.PMID:28724810;PMCID:PMC5549405","volume":"65","author":"K Bhattacharjee","year":"2017","unstructured":"Bhattacharjee K, Misra DK, Deori N (2017) Updates on upper eyelid blepharoplasty.
