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 mu scle to facilitate any type of levator surgery. It is particularly useful i n the adjustment of the superior lid margin level towards the corneoscleral area in ptosis surgery with levator resection.
