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.
