Anti-Ptosis

Géod'Optique is the only company which successfully does the antiptosis system of Robert Mercier.

In France, these treatment systems are covered by french health insurance.

The systems are offered in three debt arches. The system is made from stainless steel and does not cause allergies and it is very durable. The system supports the eyeball and is very common to use. The system is made specifically for the right eye and for the left eye separately. Due to its elastical mechanism, the system does not disturb or cause special concerns in the selection of tears and their renewal.

How to fix it

Robert Mercier's antiptosis has been in use since 1945, and has proven its importance in more than 20,000 cases.

This mechanism lifts the lowered upper eyelid and consists of a brace with a size of 3 x 20 mm, fixed to the top frame of the glasses.
This brace supports a tube with one spring, on the tube are two ends of the arc 9/10, which form coincides with the shape of cartilage of the upper eyelid. The spring can move up to 90 degrees and the eyelid rises effortlessly. The age closes and the patient at the same time feels normal.

If at the same time ptosis is very pronounced, by the way, it was our first case, with myopathy or the ptosis of Marcus Gunn, then the adaptation of the mechanism to the eyelid lasted one hour and the patient was able to see what was going on around him.

On the left side and on the right side, the mechanisms are available in three sizes 15-17-19 mm.

The mechanism of antiptosis Mercier is made of stainless steel and is a mechanism very durable. This is a very economic and affordable mechanism and the cost of the material is fully reimbursed by the Social Security fund without prior collusion.

Thus, for an eye surgeon, this is also one preoperative solution or solution in inoperable cases.

Also, the mechanism can be a solution for classic cases of ptosis. The glasses should be plastic and should be very well picked up for this occasion and well measured. Points Optique will be measured in three parameters.

Device fix-up

The distance from the top end of the frame to the cartilage of the upper eyelid is slightly above the eyelashes, and the eyelid should be opened with the help of a specialist or patient's finger, this distance is A-B.
For the order you need to add 2 mm to get one of the possible three dimensions (15, 17 or 19 mm).

Fitting the equipment

The mechanism of antiptosis is attached to the inner part of the frame. It can be attached to the glasses, while the optician needs to find a perfect position, convenient and suitable for the patient.
At the same time, the mechanism should not interfere with the patient and it should open the eyelid without strength and pain. The spring in the tube serves as an eyelid lifter and in normal terms will return in a speedy time.

In some hasty cases, one plastic wedge can be combined with the mechanism. It is strictly forbidden to change the shape of the mechanism, otherwise changes may occur.

Anti-ptosis equipment adjustment

As soon as there is an ideal position, it is necessary to mark the places in the form of dots, drill the frame 2/3 of its thickness and fix the mechanism, screwing to the frame. A good big screw gives excellent results.
