Abstract

The lax eyelids in patients with floppy eyelid syndrome demonstrate a number of anatomic defects, including horizontal lid laxity, eyelash ptosis, and blepharoptosis. Successful correction of eyelid ptosis and ocular irritation in these patients often requires horizontal tightening of the eyelids in addition to aponeurotic advancement.
