Drooping of the upper eyelid margin, aka blepharoptosis or "ptosis," is common. Whether the ptosis is severe or mild, congenital or acquired, aponeurotic or neuropathic or myopathic, proper management...
To compare the epithelial thickness map of ptotic eyes of blepharoptosis patients with contralateral non- ptotic eyes....
Unilateral blepharoptosis patients were enrolled consecutively. Patients were underwent full ophthalmologic examination and their demographic data such as age and gender and specific ptosis findings e...
44 patients with unilateral blepharoptosis were included in the study. 27 (61.4%) of them were female and 17 (38.6%) cases were male. The mean of the patients' ages was 24.40 ± 15.16 years. Ptotic eye...
This study revealed that lid position in blepharoptosis may have effects on the corneal epithelial thickness map. Because of the lower position of upper eyelid, a thinning effect on superior corneal s...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of two novel eyelid curvature measurements to distinguish between normal eyes and different severities of blepharoptosis....
A comparative cross-sectional analysis of upper eyelid curvature was performed for different severities of patients with unilateral blepharoptosis (congenital and aponeurotic) and normal controls. Mea...
A total of 106 eyes including 30 eyes in the control group and 25, 27, and 24 eyes in the mild, moderate, and severe ptosis groups were enrolled in the study. ULCI and ACI showed a statistically signi...
The results of our study showed that ACI based on area measurements may distinguish blepharoptosis patients from normal controls and from each other. Including the data from the fellow normal eyes in ...
The conventional frontalis muscle advancement technique still has some disadvantages, such as residual lagophthalmos, eyebrow ptosis, eyelid contour abnormality, and undercorrection. This article desc...
A retrospective review was performed that included patients with severe congenital ptosis who underwent extended frontalis muscle advancement technique from April of 2019 to April of 2021. Preoperativ...
From April of 2019 to April of 2021, a total of 102 patients (137 eyes) who underwent extended frontalis muscle advancement technique were included in the study. The mean postoperative margin reflex d...
Extensive subcutaneous separation relieves the mutual restriction between the forehead skin and frontalis muscle. The extended frontalis muscle advancement technique is effective in correcting severe ...
Therapeutic, IV....
Blepharoptosis is a recognized cause of reversible vision loss and a non-specific indicator of neurological issues, occasionally heralding life-threatening conditions. Currently, diagnosis relies on h...
For moderate ptosis associated with fair levator function (LF), the levator resection is the most commonly used procedure. However, the levator resection technique still has some disadvantages, such a...
Fifty-seven patients (81 eyes) underwent the modified levator resection technique and were enrolled in the study. Preoperative data collected included age, sex, margin reflex distance 1 (MRD1), and LF...
Mean MRD1 significantly increased from 1.45 ± 0.65 mm preoperatively to 3.57 ± 0.51 mm postoperatively. Mean LF significantly increased from 6.49 ± 1.12 mm preoperatively to 9.48 ± 1.39 mm postoperati...
This modified levator resection technique introduced in this study is effective in correcting moderate congenital blepharoptosis, while minimizing RL, undercorrection, conjunctival prolapse, eyelid co...
This journal requires that authors 42 assign a level of evidence to each article. For a full 43 description of these Evidence-Based Medicine ratings, 44 please refer to the Table of Contents or the on...
Multiple surgical methods were performed to correct the blepharoptosis. However, the recurrence of blepharoptosis is not uncommon in clinical practice. The Temporal-Fasciae-Complex Sheet (TFC sheet) w...
A total of 16 patients (23 eyes) with severe recurrent blepharoptosis were enrolled in this study. All the patients were performed with temporal-fasciae-complex sheet suspension surgeries for revision...
19 eyelids (82.6%) showed good correction results, and 5 eyelids (21.7%) showed fair correction results. The average value of preoperative-MRD1(pre-MRD1) was - 0.17 ± 0.97, and the average value of po...
The Temporal-Fasciae-Complex Sheet Suspension is an effective and safe method for correcting the recurrent blepharoptosis....
Attempts at dynamic reconstruction of the upper eyelid either by neurotization or direct muscle replacement have been scarce. Substitution of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle requires the use o...
Retrospective analysis of patients receiving a neurotized omohyoid muscle graft for levator palpebralis substitution between January and December 2019....
Five patients were operated (2 male, 3 female); median age was 35.5 years. Median palpebral aperture was 0 mm and levator function was< 1 mm in all cases. Median denervation time for the levator muscl...
This study introduces the concept of severe blepharoptosis correction using the omohyoid muscle. We believe that with time and further technical refinements it could become an invaluable tool in eyeli...
The purpose of this study is to examine the association between blepharoptosis and cognitive performance in late adolescence. This population-based, retrospective, cross-sectional study included 1,411...
As the world's population is aging, sarcopenia is recognized as essential to assess people's lifelong condition and do appropriate early intervention. Senile blepharoptosis is also a problem in old ag...
