The tarsal switch levator resection procedure elevates both the upper and lower eyelids a predetermined amount. This displaces the palpebral fissure superiorly, effectively opening the visual axis in primary gaze and decreasing the risk of postoperative exposure problems in patients with diminished eye protective mechanisms.
