AB  - PURPOSE: We analyzed the corneal topography before and after blepharoptosis 
      surgery and examined whether there was a difference in the corneal topographic 
      changes with and without deepening of the upper eyelid sulcus (DUES). STUDY 
      DESIGN: Retrospective study. METHODS: A total of 23 eyes of 23 patients (6 men 
      and 17 women) were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into two 
      groups according to the presence or absence of DUES, and their clinical 
      characteristics were compared. RESULTS: There were no significant differences 
      between the DUES (n = 9) and non-DUES (n = 14) groups in any of the parameters 
      examined before blepharoptosis surgery, including age, best-corrected visual 
      acuity (BCVA), margin reflex distance-1 (MRD-1), spherical equivalent, average 
      keratometry (AveK), cylindrical power (CYL), corneal higher order aberrations 
      (HOAs) and central corneal thickness (CCT). In the non-DUES group, BCVA, 
      spherical equivalent, AveK, CYL, and CCT were not significantly different between 
      before and after surgery. On the other hand, in the DUES group, BCVA, spherical 
      equivalent, and CCT were not significantly different before or after surgery, 
      however, AveK, CYL and HOAs showed significant decreases after surgery. In 
      addition, related to the post-surgical changes in CYL, the DUES group had a 
      higher rate of reduced CYL. CONCLUSION: It is expected that in eyes with DUES 
      blepharoptosis surgery can reduce AveK, CYL and HOAs in association with 
      postoperative corneal flattening, and that will contribute to improvements in 
      visual function.
