Abstract:Background
Blepharoptosis is an abnormal drooping of the upper eyelid margin with the eye in the primary gaze position. The clinical evaluating tests of upper eyelid muscle function lack objectivity, while surface electromyography (SEMG) is an objective evaluating tool of muscle power. We aimed to confirm the effect of blepharoplasty on levator muscle power after its shortening via levator aponeurosis resection surgery in cases of congenital ptosis through electrophysiological and clinical stud… Show more
