Hence a newer thinking is developing with the recommendations of constructing micro incision (sub 2 mm even upto 1.5 mm similar to bimanual technique) but with micro coaxial system using finer tips with thinner and narrow bore sleeves retaining the benefits of coaxial system along with micro incisions providing better fluidic control, securer wounds, practically astigmatism neutral, with lesser incidence of post operative complications retaining the possibility of using thin reliable IOLs with already proven stable and predictable optical qualities or choice of implanting newer thinner foldable lenses. keywords: incision; micro cache: pjo-821.pdf plain text: pjo-821.txt item: #829 of 951 id: pjo-822 author: Moin, Muhammad title: Tarsal fixation of Fascia lata in Frontalis Sling Ptosis Surgery date: 2006-09-30 words: 3001 flesch: 61 summary: We performed unilateral sling surgery in all cases of poor function ptosis with good cosmetic results (Postoperative MRD 3.55 mm with brow up) Mahmood H21 achieved good results in 87.5 % of patients with poor levator function of 2-4 mm by performing 15-26mm of levator resection.
