Abstract:
A 75-year-old patient presented with vertical tarsal plate buckling of both upper eyelids following a conjunctival mullerectomy. Clinical examination demonstrated significant lid laxity and lateral canthal tendon instability as well as short surgical scars on the conjunctival surface. The purported mechanism was an imbalance between the strong vertical force exerted by the resected muscle applied to a short width of tissue and the relatively weak horizontal lid stabilizing forces. This case underscores the importance of carefully considering all anatomic forces supporting eyelid dynamics prior to ptosis surgery.

Unusual Results
According to the range rule of thumb, any value above or below two standard deviations, 2σ from the mean, μ is considered unusual.

z Scores and Unusual Values
This score indicates how far a value is from the mean in terms of standard deviation. For example, if a data value has a z score of +1, the researcher can infer that the particular data value is one standard deviation above the mean. If another data...
