F98 Tenon Reinforcement for Conjunctivochalasis

Conjunctivochalasis interferes with the tear meniscus and may mimic or aggravate dry eye. Degradation of the Tenon capsule is considered an underlying cause. Simple excision may temporarily relieve symptoms; however, it may induce scarring and shortening of the fornix. Tenon reinforcement with amniotic membrane is a more effective alternative procedure.
