Levator Resection in Congenital Ptosis with Levator Function of 5-10mm.
Pak J Ophthalmol Jan ;14(1):9-14.

16 patients of congenital ptosis were operated upon. 8 (50%) patients were male and 8 (50%) were female, ranging in age from 3 to 25 years with a mean of 12.7 years. Follow-up range was from one month to two years and four months with a mean of 4.8 months. The amount of ptosis varied from 3-5 mm with a mean of 3.5mm and the extent of preoperative levator function was 5-10mm with a mean of 6.9mm. The necessary levator resection was from 15-26mm with a mean of 19.6mm. 14 (87.5%) patients had good results, 1 (6.3%) had a fair lid level and 1 (6.3%) patient was lost to follow-up. The combined method of levator resection gives very satisfactory results in the management of patients with congenital ptosis with good levator function.
