Discussion & Conclusion

Q: Is it related to the results presented before? Do you consider them as coherent?

A: Good

Comments: The Conclusion states that the surgical procedure for the correction of blepharoptosis is simple and yields an effective result. It further highlights that this surgical procedure can be applied in patients with weak aponeurosis of levator palpebrae.

Comments: There are few errors found in the manuscript, which are as follows; the highlighted portion must be checked by the author:

·       In Abstract, 3^rd sentence, “During the operation, we can find that the aponeurosis of upper eyelid has became weak and partially ruptured, so we use folding to repair the aponeurosis…” is reframed as “During the operation, we found that the aponeurosis of upper eyelid has become weak and partially ruptured, so we used, folding to repair the aponeurosis…”

·       Under Case Presentation, 1^st paragraph, 6^th sentence, the word “neoforint” has been misspelled and is not clearly understood.

·       In the 5^th paragraph, 1^st sentence of Case Presentation that states, “Because the reason of aponeurosis blepharoptosis is the rupture or defect of aponeurosis” must be written as “Because the reason for aponeurosis blepharoptosis is the rupture or defect of aponeurosis”.

Further comments on the paper

Comments: The manuscript presents a 21-year-old male with conjunctivitis followed by secondary ptosis. This further discusses the surgical procedure in the folding of levator palpebrae superioris muscle to correct blepharoptosis. It also points out the reason behind the cause of aponeurosis blepharoptosis.

Q: Would you recommend this manuscript for further publication?

A: Yes - Suitable to be published

If you have any questions and clarifications you can write to the journal.
