| Data derived from 32 patients: where bilateral surgery performed, only first eye data included. | ||||
| L-MRD, lower marginal reflex distance; LSS, scleral show inferior to the limbus; PA, palpebral aperture. | ||||
| Statistics: non-parametric, Wilcoxon matched pairs signed rank test. | ||||
| L-MRD (n = 15) | 7 (5–10) | 6 (3–8) | 0.006 | 1 (0.75 to 2) |
| Vertical PA (n = 22) | 10.5 (5–15) | 9 (4–13) | <0.001 | 1.5 (1 to 2.5) |
| Lagophthalmos (n = 21) | 3 (1–9) | 2 (0–8) | 0.04 | 1 (0 to 1.5) |
