Abstract

Upper eyelid retraction is a common symptom related to several ocular pathologies. Conservative treatments have been shown to be of little value in maintaining the desired eyelid aperture. Surgery is therefore required to correct eyelid retraction. We report a case of upper eyelid retraction corrected with müllerectomy in a patient with an unacceptable cosmetic appearance.
