Is orbitral decompression a solution for that ?

PFL doesn't decrease with age. That's just the eyelid skin sagging over the lateral canthus giving the illusion of a shorter PFL. The document shows that a blepharoplasty gets rid of that problem.

after the blepharoplasty the eye shape is even more round though

and medial migration of the lateral canthus caused by ageing? basically means the lateral canthus moves towards the medial canthus which would result in a decrease of the pfl no?

weird

" Several authors have documented changes in palpebral relations with aging. Shore found that the lower eyelid margin rested more inferiorly with increasing age (and increasing laxity).5 Ousterhout and Weil34 found that aging did not change the length of the lower lid margin as measured from canthus to canthus. Hill showed that there was a decrease in the width of the palpebral fissure with age. He also showed that the distance between the medial canthus and the punctum did not change with age.6 Neuhaus’7 measurements confirmed not only the persistent integrity of the medial canthus but also the deterioration of the lateral canthus. His measurements showed an increase in lateral orbital rim to lateral canthus distance in patients with senile ectropion. In summary, the shape of the palpebral fissure becomes more round with aging not because the horizontal length of the tarsal plate and lower lid margin increases, but rather because the lateral canthus migrates medially and the lower lid descends. "

but then at the distant between canthus to canthus there is no cross? contradicting?

Have you noticed ptosis with contacts?

reminder:

Because the lower lid has been documented to descend and the lateral canthus to migrate medially with aging,1-‘ transcutaneous blepharoplasty often trades an improvement in lid contour for a palpebral fissure more characteristic of the elderly (Fig. 1).
