Abstract
In treatment of moderate to severe blepharoptosis in the Oriental, an excellent result can be obtained by frontalis suspension using free palmaris longus tendons. Postoperative functional training is unnecessary. Children of 5 or 6 with congenital upper eyelid ptosis are favorable candidates for correction by this method. In traumatic cases, the operation may be performed about six months after injury.Entities:
