“…With moderate blepharoptosis, levator aponeurosis surgery is usually applied. Levator function and surgeon's preference assign the surgical option with severe blepharoptosis: Whitnall's sling (attachment of Whitnall's ligament to tarsus), supramaximal levator resection with or without tarsectomy, and frontalis suspension surgery are the most recommended techniques [1][2][3][4][5]8,9,[13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

Introduction: The purpose of this case is to demonstrate one-step surgical management of mechanical blepharoptosis after upper eyelid tumor excision. Case Report: A 37-year-old man presented with right ptosis secondary to mass in the right upper eyelid. We performed debulking of the tumor mass, pathological examination, and a reconstruction of the upper eyelid. The upper eyelid reconstruction was performed by doing transverse skin resection of the upper eyelid and lateral canthal attachment of both upper and lower tarsal plates to the periosteum. Two weeks after surgery, his right eye was comparable to left eye, with neither lagophthalmus nor trichiasis with marked improvement in cosmetic appearance. Conclusion: The repair of blepharoptosis is a very challenging. Correct diagnosis, planning, as well as understanding of eyelid anatomy, experience, and good surgical technique are essential for this oculoplastic surgical procedure. In this case, the palpebral reconstruction was done in one-step procedure, using the contralateral eye as model, given excellent surgical outcome. Postoperatively, the patient's appearance and social interaction improved markedly.

“…38 The STM assists in elevating the upper eyelid up to an additional 2.5 mm after the LPS‐initiated elevation due to sympathetic nervous system response. 39 , 40 This adrenergic innervation is responsive to apraclonidine ophthalmic drop stimulation. Anticholinesterase or alpha‐adrenergic eye drops improve cholinergic transmission indirectly by inhibiting the destruction of acetylcholine, a fundamental chemical mediator in the transmission of nerve impulses, increasing or prolonging their effects.…”

Purpose: To review and summarize a comprehensive synopsis of surgery of the eyelid in thyroid eye disease (TED). Methods: A PubMed search for specific eyelid manifestations of TED was performed. Studies reporting surgical management of these were reviewed, along with the author’s own experience. Results: The most common eyelid manifestations of TED include eyelid retraction, blepharoptosis, entropion, and epiblepharon, with most of them requiring surgical intervention. The correction of eyelid retraction has received maximum attention, with several surgical techniques that have stood the test of time. Blepharoptosis in TED that requires surgical intervention is usually aponeurotic. Entropion and Epiblepharon are rare in TED, and may resolve spontaneously, or following orbital decompression. Conclusions: Retraction is the commonest eyelid manifestation of TED, with multiple surgical options available for its correction. Blepharoptosis, entropion, and epiblepharon are rare eyelid findings in TED, that may occasionally require surgical correction.
