All patients underwent complete ophthalmological evaluation, cycloplegic refraction, and baseline Orbscan prior to ptosis surgery. At 6 months postoperative review, the cycloplegic refraction and Orbscan were repeated to evaluate the changes in these parameters. The main outcome measures in our study were Steepest K, Inferior-Superior Asymmetry (I-S Asymmetry), cycloplegic refraction and BCVA.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n A significant decrease in Steepest K postoperatively (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.001) was noted. Superior K and Inferior K also decreased, but the decrease in Inferior K was statistically significant (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.044). However, change in I-S Asymmetry was not significant. Variation in BCVA, and cycloplegic sphere and cylinder was minimal. Sim K astigmatism, Surface Regularity Index, I-S Asymmetry and Central Corneal Thickness did not show significant variation.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Ptotic eyelid constantly presses on the cornea causing significant changes in corneal contour and surface remodeling. This pressure when relieved, results in significant flattening and regression of anterior corneal surface to its near normal anatomy. This further resulted in improvement of corneal surface irregularity and symmetry.<\/jats:p>\n
