Postoperative Blepharoptosis After Modern Phacoemulsification Procedure
2020, American Journal of OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :However, the number of patients with retrobulbar anesthesia was too small (1.6%, 5/313) to draw a strong conclusion. Postoperative ptosis is generally considered as an iatrogenic type of aponeurotic ptosis due to levator muscle dehiscence.21,23,27,28 Likewise, we observed a significant increase of the mean eyelid crease height from 8.3 to 9.2 mm at the last follow-up (Table 1).
Oculoplastic considerations in patients with glaucoma
2016, Survey of OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :Subsequent muscle recovery from regeneration of damaged nerve fibers and hypertrophy of remaining muscle fibers may take between 8–12 weeks.79 Persistent postoperative ptosis lasting more than 6 months was thought to be the result of dehiscence of the levator aponeurosis.68 The use of a bridle suture during anterior segment surgery was even suggested as a cause.42,55
