This 30 year-old suffered from a right
congenital ptosis. The levator function was poor at 6mm with poor skin
crease. The ptosis was repaired by resecting about 20mm of levator and
attached the cut edge to the tarsal plate.
Right ptosis with poor levator
function.
2 hours after left anterior levator
resection. The eye was firmly patched for 2 hours after
the operation to reduce
post-operative oedema. The picture on the right showed eyelid
retraction on downgaze which is an
unwanted complication of ptosis repair.
