Abstract:
Our research has been done on 64 eyes from 62 patients whose elevator muscles had average and good function. The results are encourage: 64.58% of the eyes operated using Berke's method have results with average and good quality. The complication of amblyopia in ptosis has reduced meanwhile the patiens' postoperative vision has subtantially increased. Ptosis correcting surgery with resection of the elevator muscles using Berke's R.N. method has proved to be an efficient surgical procedure in treatment of congenital ptosis, we recommend that this procedure be further studied for better application.
