Maximal levator resection versus Gore-Tex sling for congenital blepharoptosis with poor levator function.

Background: Treating congenital blepharoptosis is often mandatory to clear the visual access and avoid amblyopia; however, when the levator function is poor, achieving a satisfactory long-term outcome is challenging. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of maximal levator resection (MLR) with those of frontalis suspension (FS) using Gore-Tex , in the treatment of congenital blepharoptosis with poor levator function.

Patients And Methods: The study included 102 eyelids of 66 patients of mean age 4.
