Acquired ptosis is often caused by levator aponeurosis defects. Surgical repair aims to fix these issues, improving eyelid position and function.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Oculoplastics

Context:

Acquired involutional ptosis commonly results from aponeurotic defects and levator aponeurosis disinsertion.
Key clinical signs include moderate to severe ptosis, strong levator function, and altered eyelid crease morphology.

Purpose:

To outline the etiology and clinical presentation of aponeurotic defects causing acquired ptosis.
To describe surgical strategies for correcting levator aponeurosis defects, including anterior and posterior approaches.

Summary:

Aponeurotic defects lead to acquired ptosis, characterized by specific clinical findings.
Treatment involves surgical repair or advancement of the aponeurosis onto the tarsus.
Surgical options include anterior aponeurotic surgery or posterior Müller's muscle conjunctival resection, often combined with blepharoplasty.
