Abstract Purpose:To report changes in contrast sensitivity following surgery for involutional blepharoptosis by levator resection.

Cases and Method:This prospective study was made on 40 eyes of 20 patients who received surgery for involutioal blepharoptosis during a 5-month period. The age averaged 72.8±8.7 years. All the eyes received CO2-assisted resection of levator and Müller muscle. Blepharoptosis was evaluated by means of margin reflex distance(MRD). Blepharoptosis was evaluated as mild when MRD was 1 mm or over and as severe when MRD was 0 mm over lower. Contrast sensitivity was evaluated regarding photopic and mesopic vision. Surgery was subjectively evaluated by questionnaire to the patients.

Results:There were 20 eyes with mild MRD and 20 eyes with severe MRD before surgery. MRD improved significantly in both groups after surgery(p=0.016, p=0.007 respectively). There was no difference in uncorrected visual acuity after surgery. Contrast sensitivy remained unchanged after surgery in eyes with mild blepharoptosis. It increased in high spatial frequency for photopic and mesopic vision in eyes with severe blepharoptosis(p=0.022, p=0.018, respectively). The eye strain, evaluated by visual analog score(VAS), improved in eyes with mild and severe blepharoptosis. The improvement was more manifest in visual functions(p<0.05).

Conclusion:Contrast sensitivity serves as indicator for improved visual function following surgery for involutional blepharoptosis.
