ABSTRACT
Two patients with floppy eyelid syndrome presented with severe eye pain and foreign body sensation after recent levator aponeurosis advancement. The examination in both patients was notable for entropion of the upper eyelid, and upper lid eversion revealed deformity of the tarsus in both patients. Surgical revision with full-thickness horizontal tarsotomy and limited excision of the abnormal tarsus corrected the deformity. The authors propose a mechanism for this phenomenon and a modification of surgical technique that may prevent this complication.
