Study summary

The purpose of this study to is to determine the incidence of post-operative ptosis in patients undergoing vitreoretinal surgery. An additional purpose is to identify pre-operative and intra-operative factors which correlate to the development of post-operative ptosis in vitreoretinal surgery cases.

Read the detailed description

This study will evaluate patients who will undergo vitreoretinal surgery at UCSF Medical Center and San Francisco General Hospital. After informed consent has been obtained, the measurement of eyelid parameters such as levator function, palpebral fissure height, upper eyelid crease height, MRD1 and MRD2 will be collected at pre-operative and post-operative follow up visits. External eye photographs taken at each visit will be evaluated by a masked reader who will calculate the eyelid parameters. Dermographic data and intraoperative factors such as operative time and type of procedure will be collected. For statistical analysis, Repeated ANOVA, Paired t-test, Wilcoxon signed rank test, Chi-square test and Pearson's correlation analysis will be calculated with SPSS software.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Reduction of levator function

    Difference between levator function at baseline and 6 months after surgery

    Time frame: Baseline to 6 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Operative time

    Record of operative surgical time in each type of operation

    Time frame: At operation

  2. Change of palpebral fissure height, MRD1 and MRD2

    Difference in palpebral fissure height, MRD1 and MRD2 between baseline and each post-operative visit.

    Time frame: Baseline to 6 months

  3. Incidence of ptosis

    Incidence of clinically significant ptosis, defined as upper eyelid drooping of more than 2 mm.

    Time frame: baseline to 6 months
