title: Management of traumatic ptosis.
abstract: The management of traumatic ptosis is dependent on its etiology, interval between occurrence and examination, degree of ptosis, and levator function. The surgical approach and timing of intervention varies with each case and provides a challenge to the oculoplastic surgeon. We discuss our approach to the management of traumatic ptosis. Secondary surgery may be necessary to repair over- or undercorrection.
