Eyelid motion study in children with droopy eyelids
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study uses high-speed video to measure how the upper eyelid moves in children with droopy eyelids (ptosis). It may help doctors better understand eyelid function and improve treatment options.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 5 and 18 years old.
- They have a simple form of droopy eyelid (ptosis) that was present from birth or early childhood.
- The eyelid muscle must lift the lid at least 5 millimeters (moderate to good function).
- No previous eye surgery or injury to the eyelid.
- No other eye or face problems like Marcus Gunn jaw-winking, narrow eye openings, or nerve issues.
- No dry eye, weak blink, or conditions that make it hard to follow instructions.

This trial looks at how the levator muscle develops in children born with droopy eyelids (congenital ptosis). It aims to understand the condition better and may help guide future treatments.
This study uses a computer method to measure your eyelid shape and how your eyelid moves over time. It may help doctors better assess eyelid problems such as drooping or spasms using images or video.
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 a special device that uses feedback to temporarily manage blepharoptosis, which means a droopy upper eyelid. It may help improve eyelid position without permanent surgery, but you must be able to follow the study steps.
