Silicone Sling Allows Adjustable Ptosis Correction in Children and in Adults at Risk of Corneal Exposure

Abstract: Our results were comparable to alternative materials in respect of recurrence and were superior in respect of both granuloma formation and infection. Silicone is superior to all listed materials in respect of ease of adjustment of the sling in cases where the ideal lid position was not achieved after primary surgery.

“…Frontalis slings were therefore used in patients with MG at an earlier stage than for other patients (even when 8 mm of levator function was present, rather than the 4 mm suggested in standard texts) 8 9 13 15 14. Apart from three of the earliest procedures, there was a preference for using more readily reversible and adjustable silicone slings 12 14 20 21. When placing a sling for these patients, the aim was to have the eyelids just closed at the end of the procedure; postoperatively, with brow elevation the visual axis could then be cleared.…”
