SURGEON'S CORNER

We have found that some patients with congenital ptosis have preoperative lower scleral show that is diminished after ptosis surgery (Figure 1). This quantitative study investigates the positional change in the lower eyelid after surgery to correct congenital ptosis.

Figure 1. Clinical photographs of patients with congenital ptosis (A, C, E, and G). Lower eyelid elevation and disappearance of scleral show were noted after surgery (B, D, and F) and upper eyelid lift (H). The levels of the pupillary light reflex (a), medial canthus (b), and lower eyelid margin (c) are shown (G and H).
