Lower Eyelid Entropion
Conditions
Keywords
eyelid fat pads
Brief summary
The purpose of this research study is to is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the FDA approved Holmium:YAG laser for reducing lower eyelid bags.
Detailed description
The researchers are interested in learning if the more precise Holmium:YAG laser can effectively tighten the orbital septum, a barrier of the orbit which holds fat in the bony orbit, while resulting in less unintentional surrounding damage and side effects.
Interventions

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
