Popis: Background Conjunctiva-Muller muscle resection (CMMR) is a simple, effective, and predictable procedure for internal treatment of ptosis. Objectives The authors determined contour symmetry of the upper eyelid following bilateral CMMR. Methods Thirty control participants (ie, without ptosis) and 44 patients with acquired bilateral blepharoptosis who underwent CMMR were evaluated in a prospective study. To assess symmetry of lid contour, distances from midpupil to the upper eyelid (ie, MPLDs) were determined radially at intervals of 15° (total, 180°) along the palpebral fissure, and MPLDs at each angle were compared for right and left eyes. Results For control participants, the mean marginal reflex distance (MRD1; ie, MPLD at 90°) ± standard error (SE) was 4.05 mm ± 0.75 mm, and small contour asymmetries (
