to evaluate the surgical effect of levator aponeurosis resection Versus two point fixation levator aponeurosis Tucking for Congenital Ptosis
Target population for the study is children under twelve years old presenting to ophthalmology clinic at Cairo university specialized pediatric hospital with congenital ptosis.
Patients will be randomly divided into two groups First group (A) will contain 20 patients who will undergo standard levator aponeurosis resection Second group (B) will contain 20 patient who will undergo two point fixation levator tucking

The levator aponeurosis was dissected from the upper border of the tarsal plate and conjunctiva. The aponeurosis was measured for the desired amount of resection and fixed to the exposed tarsal border with three point mattress sutures with 6-0 prolene then amount measured resect. The skin incision closed by continuous suture with 6-0 prolene.
