AB  - Purpose: To examine the clinical characteristics of patients who developed 
      blepharoptosis after filtering surgery. Study Design: A retrospective, 
      observational study. Methods: 96 eyes in 79 patients who underwent glaucoma 
      filtration surgery were included in this study. These patients were followed up 
      for more than one year after filtration surgery. The clinical characteristics 
      were compared between two groups: a group that developed blepharoptosis during 
      the follow-up, and a group that did not develop blepharoptosis. Results: Of the 
      96 eyes in 79 patients who underwent filtration surgery, 12 eyes (12.5%) 
      developed blepharoptosis and underwent blepharoptosis surgery. There were no 
      significant differences between the two groups in any of the following: age, sex, 
      presence or absence of simultaneous cataract surgery, differences in surgical 
      procedures (conventional trabeculectomy or trabeculectomy with an Ex-Press 
      mini-glaucoma shunt device), number of needlings after filtration surgery, 
      glaucoma type and number of anti-glaucomatous drugs before filtration surgery. 
      Deepening of the upper eyelid sulcus (DUES) was found in 6 of the 12 eyes (50.0%) 
      of the blepharoptosis group and 9 of the 84 eyes (10.7%) of the 
      non-blepharoptosis group, and a significant difference was observed (p < .01). 
      When blepharoptosis patients without DUES after filtration surgery were used as a 
      reference, there was a significant difference in odds ratios between these 
      patients and blepharoptosis patients with DUES (OR: 8.56; 95% CI: 2.30-32.21; p 
      < .01). Conclusion: The development of blepharoptosis after filtration surgery is 
      an important issue, and the presence of DUES may be a risk factor for 
      postoperative blepharoptosis after glaucoma filtration surgery.
