Eyelash Ptosis in Unilateral Myogenic and Aponeurotic Blepharoptosis

Abstract

Lash ptosis was significantly worse in MP than in AP. Lower LF was correlated with more severe LP. Ptosis repair resulted in significant improvement of LP and its symmetry with the contralateral eyelid. Lash ptosis symmetry did not correlate with eyelid height symmetry postoperatively.

“…1 Our group, in fact, performed a prospective, in-person pre- and postoperative assessment of all the eyelid parameters in patients with unilateral myogenic (58 patients) and aponeurotic (20 patients) ptosis. 2–4 Preoperative MRD2 ratio of ptotic/nonptotic was ≥1 in 98.1% of myogenic and 100% of aponeurotic ptosis. Mean MRD2 then significantly decreased (less inferior scleral show) by 0.5 mm in both groups after the levator surgery.…”

“…This omission was an oversight of our literature search. Review of these articles cited [1][2][3][4][5][6] in his Letter to the Editor raise several important questions.We would like to summarize the most salient points as they pertain to our data and draw comparisons where possible. One of the major findings in our study was that, in unilateral congenital ptosis, the ptotic side was more likely to have a smaller MRD2.…”
