A Study to Analyse the Causes of Persistent Postoperative Ptosis After Cataract Surgery

Abstract

BACKGROUNDOne of the most common ocular surgery, i.e. cataract surgery is today highly efficient and has a predictable outcome. Still, eyelid malpositions can occur after cataract surgery. Of these, blepharoptosis of upper eyelid occurs and sometimes persists even after few months of surgery. This occurrence depends on the surgical technique and method of ocular anaesthesia given.The aim of the study is to know the incidence and probability of developing postoperative persistent ptosis (>12 weeks) after different surgical techniques and anaesthetic methods.
