METHODS Commonly employed terms in oculoplastic surgery were collected, and their etymologies were determined. The authors then examined how these terms are being currently used in the published literature to determine how closely their usage matched the origin of the terms, if any terms had developed multiple meanings, or if multiple terms were being used to describe the same concept. RESULTS This article assembles in one area much of the important terms in oculoplastic surgery, highlighting how the etymology of the terms both links to their meanings as well as clarifies the appropriate usage of terms that have evolved to develop several different definitions. Special attention is placed on clarifying the correct definitions of closely related but distinct terms. CONCLUSIONS Most terms in ophthalmology are used in a uniform manner across the literature with definitions closely matching their etymology, but some terms in oculoplastic surgery are being used in a potentially confusing overlapping manner and warrant clarification.Lower lip cancer is typically treated with surgical excision, and this frequently results in a large defect and severe aesthetic problems. Local flap reconstruction is suitable for restoring appearance and function, and it causes less surgical stress than a vascularized free flap. The Fusuma sliding flap is a local flap technique introduced by Kasai et al in 2008. Here, the authors report their use of this method for lip reconstruction in a 94-year-old Japanese female after the removal of a cancerous mass.INTRODUCTION To determine the normal distribution of interpupillary distance (IPD) in adult males and females of the Azerbaijani society and create a specific IPD database.
