Abstract
PURPOSE
To evaluate the effect of unilateral blepharoptosis repair on contralateral eyelid position. METHODS: The medical records of 39 patients who had undergone unilateral blepharoptosis repair were reviewed for preoperative and postoperative margin reflex distance (MRD). RESULTS: Of the 39 patients, 28 (71.8%) had congenital ptosis and 11 (28.2%) revealed acquired ptosis. Twenty-two (56.4%) patients were male and 17 (43.6%) were female. Ages ranged from 3 to 55 years (mean 15.3+/-20.1 years). After unilateral blepharoptosis repair, the postoperative mean (+/-SD) change in MRD of nonoperated eye was -0.3+/-0.7 mm at week one, -0.3+/-0.6 mm at three months, and -0.2+/-0.7 mm at six months. CONCLUSIONS: After unilateral blepharoptosis repair, 35.9% of patients had a decrease in contralateral eyelid height at postoperative 3 months and amount of decrease was 0.2+/-0.7 mm.
Key Words: Contralateral eyelid position;Unilateral blepharoptosis
