Bandage Contact Lenses Versus Eye Patching of Müller's Muscle-conjunctival Resection

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Patients with blepharoptosis who are treated with Müller's muscle-conjunctival resection (MMCR) may experience postoperative pain and discomfort related to the suture material on the palpebral conjunctiva. This study aims to compare the postoperative subjective complaints, such as pain and discomfort, with a visual analog scale (VAS) and objectively evaluate the cornea with a tear break-up time (TBUT) test and fluorescein staining following MMCR that was managed by either a bandage contact lens (BCL) or eye patching.
