Retrospective study evaluates eyelid symmetry and visual outcomes in pediatric ptosis cases, suggesting effective intervention for selected patients.

To assess functional and cosmetic outcomes following Müller Muscle–Conjunctival Resection in pediatric patients with ptosis.
Retrospective observational design involving patients under 18 years with mild-to-moderate blepharoptosis.
Surgical criteria included visual obstruction, head posture, eyelid asymmetry, or psychosocial concerns.
Preoperative and postoperative assessments measured visual acuity, MRD-1, eyelid symmetry, and levator function.
Statistical analyses utilized non-parametric tests with significance set at p < 0.05.
Postoperative MRD-1 increased significantly from 1.83 mm to 2.97 mm at 6 months (p < 0.001).
In unilateral cases, 83.6% achieved excellent or satisfactory eyelid symmetry.
Bilateral cases showed similar MRD-1 improvements with high patient satisfaction.
No significant complications, overcorrection, or keratopathy were noted.
