Does Müller muscle-conjunctival resection cause dry eyes?

October 28, 2022
Asked By:davidjesse in Jacksonville, Florida

I have read reports here that ptosis surgery can cause dry eyes. However the Müller muscle-conjunctival resection technique does not effect the meibomian glands, and I found some studies that show it does not cause dry eyes. Are the doctors referring to another technique when they mention it causes dry eyes?
