A Prospective Cohort Study on Visual Function and Psychological Conditions Before and After Surgery for Congenital Ptosis

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Ptosis

In brief

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the 6-month effects of Levator Resection combined with Fascial Sheath Suspension surgery in patients who undergo this procedure to treat congenital ptosis. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does this combined surgery improve best-corrected visual acuity, stereopsis, and other visual function indicators in patients with congenital ptosis within 6 months after the operation? Does this surgery lead to an improvement in patient-reported quality of life during the same period? Patients already scheduled to undergo this combined surgery as part of their regular medical care for congenital ptosis will complete a series of standardized ophthalmological examinations and a quality of life questionnaire before surgery and at 1, 3, and 6 months post-operation.
