Table 2 Disease grading of the study subjects.

Grade	SAC	Controls
MG distortion	0.32±0.50	0.11±0.33
MG dropout	1.8±0.5	0.3±0.6
MG expression	1.9±0.5	0.2±0.3
MG orifices	2.8±0.9	0.2±0.4
MG distortion, dropout, and expression grades were significantly worse in the SAC group than the control group. Eyelid evaluation in the SAC group was significantly worse than in the control group. The Mann-Whitney test was performed for pairwise comparison.
