Conjunctivochalasis (CCH) is defined as a loose, redundant, nonedematous conjunctiva that is considered to occur secondary to normal aging. At times CCH may be asymptomatic and, therefore, is sometimes overlooked by the physician. However, CCH can be a possible origin of ocular surface irritation and tearing.

Conjunctivochalasis, also known as mechanical dry eye (MDE), is a common eye surface condition characterized by the presence of excess folds of the conjunctiva located between the globe of the eye and the eyelid margin. [1]

2022年9月28日 · Conjunctivochalasis (CCh) is a condition in which the clear outer layer that covers the white part of the eye (the conjunctiva) loosens, creating wrinkles and folds. This can cause a range of symptoms that include discomfort, dry eyes and blurred vision. It is most commonly found in older populations. CCh is often bilateral — affecting both eyes.

Characterized by redundant, loose, and non-edematous conjunctival tissue that often interferes with normal tear flow, conjunctivochalasis can lead to significant discomfort and visual disturbances. Let us look into the causes, risk factors, diagnosis, and treatments associated with conjunctivochalasis. What is Conjunctivochalasis?

Conjunctivochalasis (CCh) represents one of the most common age-related eye diseases and is characterized by the presence of redundant folds of the conjunctiva that typically are detected between the eyeball and the eyelids.

2009年2月17日 · Conjunctival chalasis, or conjunctivochalasis, is a fairly common condition that is observed often in primary eye care. Its symptoms are very similar to those of dry eye; however, the key difference is that the hallmark sign of conjunctival chalasis is localized pain and/or foreign body sensation.

Underdiagnosed, often neglected, and much more common than clinicians realize is how some physicians describe conjunctivochalasis. Patients with symptomatic conjunctivochalasis often complain of dry eye and receive treatment that doesn’t resolve their symptoms.
