Congenital ptosis study on levator muscle development
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have droopy eyelids that were present at birth (congenital ptosis) in one or both eyes
- You have not had any prior surgery on your eyelid or near your eye
- Your droopy eyelids are simple (not caused by other conditions like Marcus Gunn jaw-winking or Blepharophimosis syndrome)
- Your eyes can move upward normally (good Bell's phenomenon)

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.
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.
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 follows patients before and after surgery for congenital ptosis—a condition where the eyelid droops from birth. Researchers will measure how surgery affects vision and emotional well-being.
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.
