Levator muscle resection for simple congenital ptosis: its impact on preoperative levator function and dose-response ratio.

Objective: The primary aim of this study is to calculate the dose-response ratio in patients with different levels of levator function following levator resection in simple congenital ptosis. The secondary outcome is to evaluate the success rate and effect of levator resection on postoperative levator function.

Methods: In a retrospective study, the medical records of patients were reviewed for age, gender, laterality, preoperative and postoperative measurements (palpebral fissure height, marginal reflex distance 1, and levator function), magnitude of levator resection, follow-up time, and postoperative complications.

The association between food diversity and serum antioxidant indices in cataract patients compared to healthy subjects.

Background: Cataract is a chronic disorder that is related to antioxidant-oxidant imbalance situation. We aimed to investigate the association between food diversity and serum antioxidant and oxidant indices in cataract patients compared to healthy subjects.

Materials And Methods: In this case-control study, ninety volunteers (aged > 50 years) were divided into the cataract ( = 45) and healthy control ( = 45) groups.
