Аннотация
BACKGROUND: A 46-year-old woman with a long-standing history of chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia manifested a primary visual symptom of bilateral ptosis. Previous lid surgery was unsuccessful because of severe sight-threatening exposure keratitis.
CASE REPORT: The patient's problem was managed by fabricating a spectacle-mounted combination ptosis crutch and moisture chamber. The custom device successfully provided both cosmetic and visual relief for the patient while maintaining corneal integrity.
CONCLUSIONS: This case demonstrates the effectiveness of a dual-purpose appliance that offers a cosmetically viable alternative to ptosis patients who are high-risk surgical candidates because of potential corneal dehydration.
