Abstract:
Blepharoptosis in children is one of the common pediatric eye diseases. It is not only a matter of aesthetics, but also affects visual and psychological development. How to choose the right time to operate has been controversial in clinical practice. Based on the domestic and foreign research progress and clinical experience, we propose that factors, such as the etiology of blepharoptosis, visual and psychological development characteristics of children, developmental characteristics of eyelid-related muscles, and types of blepharoptosis, should be considered for selection of the timing of surgery in a personalized and standardized manner, so as to provide reference and guidance for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of blepharoptosis in children.
