Correction of acquired myogenic ptosis with poor levator function by frontalis muscle suspension is the gold standard. It creates a linkage between the frontalis muscle and the tarsal plate of upper eyelid. Various different materials have been used for frontalis suspension, in particular silicon rod is an effective and safe material used in treating ptosis with poor levator function [6]. The elasticity and ease of adjustment of silicon rod are ideal characteristics for suspension material used to treat acquired myogenic ptosis with poor levator function. We report our experience with silicone rod (Aurosling from Aurolab limited, India) for frontalis sling suspension surgery for acquired myogenic ptosis with poor levator function.
