Abstract | PURPOSE: To analyse the early and late postoperative visual function in children undergoing surgery for congenital eyelid ptosis with the use of silicone rod. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Congenital eyelid ptosis was diagnosed in 14 children aged 3-18 years. Analyzing the patients we focused on visual function parameters in early and late postoperative period. The follow up period ranged from 6 months to 1 year after the surgery. RESULTS: The visual outcome analysis in patients with congenital eyelid ptosis shows good functional and cosmetic results. The visual function improved gradually depending on patient age and severity of ptosis. CONCLUSIONS: Functional and aesthetic outcomes of the procedure performed using the silicone rod were good. The technique contributed to the shortened duration of postoperative visual rehabilitation period.
