ABSTRACT
Sixty-five levator aponeurotic surgeries were carried out to treat acquired and congenital blepharoptosis including those with very poor levator function. Margin reflex distance(MRD) was measured and postoperative drooping of the upperlid was observed carefully during the follow-up period of 6 months to 1 year. Most of these cases had a stationary level of MRD or less than 1 mm change of MRD but three cases resulted in more than 1.5 mm postoperative fall of the upperlid. This procedure also proved the excellent surgical efficacy in severe congenital ptosis with very poor levator function. In our experience, about 1 mm overcorrection at surgery provided a more satisfactory result.
