Surgical outcomes in patients with bilateral ptosis and Hering's dependence.

Bilateral ptosis cases with documented Hering's dependency yield better results when both eyes are operated in the same session, rather than delaying surgery for the second eyelid.

Ocular dominance probably has a significant impact on Hering's dependency and postoperative outcome after unilateral operations.
