Clinical Trial: Astigmatic Changes Secondary to Eyelid Surgeries

Study Status: Terminated
Recruit Status: Unknown status
Study Type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Official Title: Astigmatic Corneal Changes Secondary to Eyelid Surgery

Brief Summary: Eyelid surgeries change the lid position over the cornea. Previous surgeries evaluated astigmatic corneal changes in children undergoing ptosis repair. Only several studies evaluated astigmatic changes following eyelid surgeries in elderly patients. The investigators aim is to estimate this change, implications on corneal astigmatism may have great effect to future cataract surgeries for this group of patients.

Detailed Summary: Patients registered for a lid surgery due to blepharoptosis or ptosis will undergo a topographic examination prior to and 3 months post operative in addition to their regular pre and post operative examination astigmatic shift will be mathematically measured.

Current Primary Outcome: astigmatic corneal decrease following eyelid surgery [ Time Frame: 3 months ]

eyelid change in position will change the effect on corneal astigmatism measured 3 months post surgery


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome: type of astigmatism [ Time Frame: 3 months ]

a change from against the rule astigmatism to with the rule astigmatism following eyelid surgery will be evaluated


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
