      Eyelid Sulcus.

AB  - The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the effectiveness of 
      blepharoptosis surgery in patients with deepening of the upper eyelid sulcus 
      (DUES). This case series included 10 consecutive patients (19 eyes) with DUES 
      associated with use of a prostaglandin analog for glaucoma. Patients who had used 
      bimatoprost and developed DUES were changed to an alternative prostaglandin 
      analog and observed for >/=3 months. If there was no improvement, they underwent 
      levator resection for blepharoptosis and were followed up for >/=6 months 
      postoperatively. Improvement in margin reflex distance-1 and surgical 
      complications was evaluated. After discontinuation of bimatoprost in 3 cases (6 
      eyes), mild subjective and objective improvement in DUES was seen in 2 cases (4 
      eyes) but without improvement in blepharoptosis. The prostaglandin analog used 
      before surgery was travoprost in 4 eyes (21.0%), tafluprost in 7 eyes (36.9%; 
      including 4 eyes switched from bimatoprost), and latanoprost in 8 eyes (42.1%; 
      including 2 eyes switched from bimatoprost). The mean margin reflex distance-1 
      value was 1.11 +/- 0.96 mm before surgery and 3.72 +/- 0.81 mm at the final 
      postoperative follow-up; the difference was significant (P = 3.32 x -10). There 
      were no intraoperative or postoperative complications. Levator resection is a 
      useful and safe procedure for blepharoptosis with DUES.
