Studying eyelid movement in children with droopy eyelids
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study uses a high-speed camera to watch how the upper eyelid moves in children with droopy eyelids (ptosis). The goal is to better understand eyelid motion, which may help improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 5 and 18 years old.
- Your child has simple congenital ptosis (a droopy eyelid they were born with).
- The eyelid can still lift at least 5 millimeters (about the width of a pencil eraser).
- No previous eyelid surgery or injury to the eyelid.
- No other eye conditions like dry eye, jaw-winking, or certain eyelid shapes.
- No neurological, muscle, or facial bone disorders.

This study looks at the eyelid muscle in people with droopy eyelids that are present from birth. It aims to understand the muscle better, which may help improve future treatments.
This study tests a new eye drop (oxymetazoline) to see if it can help lift droopy eyelids in adults. To join, you must have a certain amount of eyelid droop and some vision loss in your upper field of view, and you should feel that the droop bothers you enough to want treatment.
This study tests a new treatment for Chinese patients whose droopy upper eyelid (acquired blepharoptosis) seriously affects their vision. It may help if your eyelid droops low enough to block part of your sight and you haven't had previous corrective surgery or certain eye conditions.
This trial compares two surgical methods (anterior vs posterior approach) for fixing a droopy upper eyelid (ptosis) that is caused by a stretched tendon. It will help determine which technique leads to better outcomes.
This study tests two different eye drops to see if they can lift droopy upper eyelids. It may be an option for people who want a non-surgical treatment for ptosis, a condition where the eyelid droops.
This study checks if repeated anti-VEGF eye injections, used to treat retinal diseases, can cause the upper eyelid to droop. It follows people getting their first injection in one eye and watches for eyelid changes.
