Abstract
To describe a simple modification of the frontalis sling procedure. Interventional case reports. The fascia lata strips are passed superiorly with a Richard-Allan needle rather than trimmed at the central incision in the inferior forehead. Satisfactory and stable eyelid positions have been achieved in six patients. Increasing the area of contact between the fascia lata strips and the frontalis muscle should enhance the muscle's action in elevating the ptotic eyelid.
