Nonprogressive glaucomatous cupping and visual field abnormalities in young Chinese males.

Objective: To describe a series of young to middle-aged men of Chinese origin who presented with a constellation of ocular findings suggestive of glaucoma, that were found to be stable over a 7-year period.

Design: Retrospective case series.

Participants: Sixteen 25- to 66-year-old male patients.

Small incision transcutaneous levator aponeurotic repair for blepharoptosis.

Purpose: Patients presenting with blepharoptosis due to disinsertion or thinning of the levator aponeurosis require surgical repair. A minimally invasive approach directed specifically at the levator aponeurotic anatomic defect may provide benefits to the patient. Proposed advantages of a small eyelid incision (8-13 mm) include less local anesthetic and tissue distortion, less ecchymosis and edema, decreased operative times, a shortened recovery period, and improved surgical results.
