Purpose
To discuss the different mechanisms of ptosis in anophthalmic socket and to share the specific considerations that could help us choose the right ptosis surgical approach
Methods
Taking a glance at our experience and literature review
Results
There are a number of mechanisms causing ptosis in anophthalmia: Post Enucleation Socket Syndrome, Superior migration of orbital implants, Tarsal papillary conjunctivitis, and Levator dehiscence. Collaborating with a good ocularist helps minimize ptosis and therefore prevent surgery in selected patients . The oculoplastic surgeon job starts when the best prosthesis is not satisfactory. Mullerectomy, levator surgeries and volume augmentations are all eligible techniques for such ptosis repair, and should be tailored specifically. When surgery ends, results can still be improved by improving the prosthesis.
Conclusion
Anophthalmic ptosis is a common diagnosis in the oculoplastic clinic, yet its causes are diverse and therefore deserve special attention and treatment tailoring.
