Comparing two surgical techniques for droopy eyelid correction
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a droopy upper eyelid caused by a stretched eyelid tendon (aponeurotic ptosis).
- Your eyelid lifting muscle (levator) is strong and works well (12 mm or more movement).
- You have not had previous surgery for a droopy eyelid.
- If you could become pregnant, you must use highly effective birth control.

This study compares a new non-surgical treatment called Ziplyft with traditional eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) to reduce extra skin on the upper eyelids. It may be a good option for people who want to refresh their eyes without a full surgery.
This study compares two types of stitches used during eyelid surgery to fix drooping eyelids. It aims to see which stitch keeps the eyelid height stable after surgery, which could help improve long-term results for patients.
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.
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 how two different upper eyelid surgery techniques—removing muscle versus removing fat—affect dry eye symptoms after surgery. It may help you understand which approach is better for your eye health.
This study compares two surgical techniques for correcting large-angle outward eye deviation (exotropia). It aims to see which method is more effective and better maintains eye alignment when looking sideways.
