To investigate the efficiency, efficacy, and safety of application new conjunctival forceps combined with high-frequency electrocautery-assisted for treatment of conjunctivochalasis (Cch). Methods: This study included data from 19 patients (22 eyes)with conjunctivochalasis who underwent treatment from January to December 2023. Cch correction was performed with our new conjunctival forceps (Patent Number: ZL 2022 2 0320601.0), which offers enhanced precision and stability in grasping the conjunctiva, combined with high-frequency electrocautery (Ellman, America) for sutureless correction.Surgical duration was recorded. Cch severity, assessed with lip-parallel conjunctival folds (LIPCOF), along with discomfort scored by Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), were compared pre-and post-operatively. A reduction in LIPCOF grade and complete healing of the conjunctival epithelium post-surgery within one month were considered successful outcomes.Healing and potential complications were checked at one week and one month. Results: The
