ABSTRACT
Post operative ptosis is a well recognized complication of cataract surgery. It has been reported in 21 percent of post cataract cases. Multiple factors has been implicated although the exact etiology is unknown Objective:
To compare superior scleral bridle with superior rectus bridle in the occurrence of ptosis based on the parameters lid measurements-corneal reflex; interpalpebral width; upper lid crease and levator excursion Materials andMethods:
Thirty eyes of 30 consecutive patients were divided into 3 groups 1st group as control; 2nd group belonged to the superior rectus bridle and the 3rd group belonged to the superior scleral bridle. ECCE with PC-IOL implantation was performed by the 1 surgeon on 30 eyes. Ptosis parameters were assessed on the 8th week post operative. Statistical analysis using the Excel 1998 and SPSS software for ANOVA was utilized for testing significanceResults:
Superior scleral bridle showed significant statistical difference between the superior rectus bridle and the control group except in the levator function testConclusion:
The superior scleral bridle is comparable to a control in terms of eliminating the risk of post-ECCE ptosis in contrast to superior rectus bridle.
