Abstract

Iliff procedure was performed upon the nine ptotic eyes. The rate of success in our series was appeared to be the highest among the rex ports appeared in the literatures. Average amont of ptosis before the operation was 5.1 mm, when 10 mm of palpebral fissure is taken to be normal, and average amount of correction by the procedure was 4.4 mm, leaving average residual ptosis of 0.7 mm. In our series, there was no overcorrection and the other complications; such as entropion, lagophthalmos, granuloma of the lids, prolapse of the orbital fat and scarring of the lids. The high rate of success in our series could, the authers feel, be attributed to the simpleness of the procedure.
