Effect of Muller's muscle-conjunctival resection on the upper eyelid crease position in Asian eyelids: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Investigating the effect of Muller's muscle-conjunctival resection (MMCR) on the eyelid crease position.

Methods

This retrospective study included patients with unilateral acquired blepharoptosis who underwent MMCR during October 2018-December 2021. The following factors were recorded: preoperative, after phenylephrine, postoperative marginal reflex distance1 (MRD1) and tarsal platform show (TPS) of bilateral eyelids. The primary outcome was to measure the change in TPS and evaluate the factors associated with post-operative TPS. The secondary outcomes included exploring the rate of MRD1 and TPS symmetry after the operation.

Results

Forty patients were included in the final analysis. The mean MRD1 of the ptotic eye was 1.28 ± 0.78 mm, 2.79 ± 0.66 mm and 3.20 ±
