In the field of ophthalmology, orbital fat prolapse under the upper eyelid is less recognized than subconjunctival orbital fat prolapse. Despite its occasional occurrence in clinical practice, this condition is often inadequately understood and incorrectly classified due to its subtle manifestations and the limited number of focused studies. Typically affecting young patients, the prolapse is located subcutaneously in the mid-upper eyelid, resulting in a pseudo-occlusion. This study aims to investigate this specific ocular anomaly, we delineate the clinical presentations, surgical interventions, and differential diagnoses of this condition through three representative cases, proposing its classification as a distinct disease entity named Upper Eyelid Subcutaneous Orbital Fat Prolapse (UESOFP)., Competing Interests: The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (© 2024 The Authors.)
