A New Method for Mild Blepharoptosis Correction using Orbital Septum

Blepharoptosis greatly affects the eyelid appearance. Moderate to severe ptosis is easily distinguished. However, mild ptosis is often overlooked or easily missed. The normal upper eyelid is located in the middle horizontal line between the upper edge of the pupil and the upper edge of the cornea while the patient looks straight ahead; that is, the upper eyelid covers 1.5 to 2.0 mm of the cornea. Mild blepharoptosis is diagnosed when the upper eyelid covers the cornea over the normal level to the upper edge of the pupil; the upper eyelid falls about 1 to 2 mm.
