title: [A new instrument in eyelid surgery: ptosis forceps with a protected lock].
abstract: We report on a new instrument in eyelid surgery: the ptosis forceps with a protected lock. This new device helps the surgeon to dissect the levator muscle to facilitate any type of levator surgery. It is particularly useful in the adjustment of the superior lid margin level towards the corneoscleral area in ptosis surgery with levator resection.
