Abstract
Purpose: Blepharoptosis (ptosis) could be described as the inferior displacement of UEL when the case looking for the primary position. Besides esthetic appearance, cases with blepharoptosis complain from troubles with regard to visual the quality.
Patients and method: This study included 60 patients suffering from severe congenital ptosis, patients will be randomizelly allocated in two equal interventional groups: First group (38 eye included) underwent FS ptosis surgery using Fascia lata and the second group (70 eye included) underwent FS ptosis surgery using synthetic material
Results: at the end of the follow-up period (6 months postoperatively), most of the patients in both groups
(89.5% of group A, 75.7% of group B) achieved good to excellent cosmetic results.
Conclusion: considering the use of the Facia lata sling material and Synthetic material, Using Crawford technique are both safe and effective with comparable results in the correction of severe ptosis with poor levator Function.
