This procedure involves suturing the partial margins of the upper and lower eyelids together, reducing the palpebral fissure area to decrease corneal exposure. Typically, after measuring and marking the required area, local anesthesia is performed under sterile conditions, and support sutures and skin margin sutures are performed along the planned area, with buffer material added if necessary to reduce pressure. Protective dressings are applied after completion. Post-operatively, the focus is on monitoring corneal hydration, suture tightness, and eyelid position, and adjustments or later release are determined based on individual reactions. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
