Senile ptosis--introduction and anterior approach
Transactions of the Ophthalmological Societies of the United Kingdom
|January 1, 1985
Abstract:
Aponeurotic defects are consistently found in senile ptosis and the ptosis following cataract surgery. Correction by an anterior approach to the levator aponeurosis is satisfactory and has the advantages that excess skin can be excised at the same time and the posterior lid lamella is left intact. Results in 25 patients (36 lids) are reviewed.
