Surgical Timing for Congenital Ptosis Should Not Be Determined Solely by the Presence of Anisometropia

Conclusions: The authors data did not show movement toward normalization of refractive error following ptosis surgery. In fact, it showed a statistically significant worsening of astigmatism following surgery. Because refractive error does not improve following surgery, anisometropia should not be the sole indication for early surgery in congenital ptosis.
