Abstract：
PURPOSE:To present a new surgical technique for severe, symptomatic conjunctivochalasis and our hypothesis of the pathogenesis of this condition. METHODS:Six eyes of three patients with conjunctivochalasis (average age +/-SD, 70.0 +/- 9.6 years; range, 56-78 years) were treated with a conjunctival fixation to sclera with three 6-0 Vicryl (Johnson & Johnson, New Brunswick, New Jersey) stitches. RESULTS:With a mean follow-up period of 209.5 days (range, 181-219 days), we achieved successful treatment in all eyes, with no recurrence of conjunctival folds. CONCLUSION:We successfully treated conjunctivochalasis with conjunctival fixation to sclera, which strongly suggests that conjuctival folds are caused by the folding and the elevating of loosely adherent bulbar conjunctiva of the lower eyelid.

杂志文章abstract：:Visual field loss secondary to optic disk drusen became evident before the development of angioid streaks in a patient with pseudoxanthoma elasticum. The incidence of optic disk drusen in cases of pseudoxanthoma elasticum is 20 to 50 times greater than that in the healthy population. We postulate that the abnormal agg...
