The authors discuss the indications for the operation, the surgical technique and results obtained in 92 patients who have been operated for ptosis (109 operations) by the modified method of Berke and Neuhaus. From the experience of the authors it appears that the best approach is a subciliary one especially in congenital ptosis. The Neuhaus method showed to be successful in patients with ptosis connected with the "jaw-winking" Marcus-Gunn phenomenon; in these patients one obtained the elevation of the upper lid and liquidation of the synkinesis. Results: in congenital unilateral ptosis very good result was achieved in 63 p.c., a good one in 32.3 p.c., a poor one in 4.8 p.c. In bilateral ptosis very good result could be achieved in 36.8 p.c., a good one in 52.5 p.c. and a poor one in 10.6 p.c. of cases. Insufficiency of the lid closure as a principal complication of operation was seen in 6 patients (6.5 p.c.) without any consecutive pathological changes in the eye.
