Blepharoptosis is a common complaint of eyelid malposition in which the upper eyelid is lower than normal. There are multiple types of blepharoptosis based on cause, and important studies have recently been published on one type, myogenic blepharoptosis. There have classically been three methods for correcting blepharoptosis. For the most severe cases,

Seminars in Ophthalmology, 2010
Blepharoptosis is the downward displacement of the upper eyelid secondary to structural abnormalities (muscle or aponeurosis) or neurologic problems. It is a frequent condition and its clinical picture varies from a cosmetic discomfort to severe visual dysfunction, depending on the pathogenesis and the degree of ptosis.

Surgical Treatment of Blepharoptosis
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1969Spaeth' and Berke were the first in this country to analyze cases of blepharoptosis. Spaeth's series included both congenital and acquired cases, Berke's only congenital. How ever, Berke also reviewed the abnormalities of the extraocular muscles associated with congenital blepharoptosis.

A DROOPING lid that covers a normal eye renders a good eye useless, disfigures a face and shuts in a personality. The problem of ptosis looms before the ophthalmologist at various times and must be faced. The surgical procedure used depends on the type of training (ophthalmologist or plastic surgeon) and where the training was obtained.

Mechanisms of acquired blepharoptosis [PDF]
Ophthalmology Clinics of North America, 2002 Blepharoptosis can be the presenting symptom in a variety of disorders ranging from the relatively common and benign levator dehiscence to debilitating and potentially life-threatening conditions such as myasthenia gravis and aneurysms of the posterior communicating artery.

Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus, 1986
ABSTRACT The eyelid of a patient with apparent unilateral blepharoptosis and a preference for fixation with the contralateral eye, was corrected surgically. However, postoperatively when the preferred (unoperated) eye was used for fixation, the ptosis appeared to have been overcorrected.

Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery, 1996
A review is given of the aetiology and possible treatment of acquired (non-congenital), blepharoptosis, which is a common but not specific sign of neurological disease. The diagnostic categories of upper eyelid drooping are scheduled as (a) pseudo-ptosis due to a local process or overactivity of eye closure, including blepharospasm, and (b) true ptosis

Correction of Severe Blepharoptosis
Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1996An analysis is made of 81 patients with severe blepharoptosis who underwent correction with autogenous fascia. In case of severe blepharoptosis, which means a levator function of less than 5 mm, correction by levator resection gives insufficient results.

Worsening of Blepharoptosis in Downgaze
Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 1992We report a group of patients with involutional blepharoptosis most pronounced in downgaze. Retrospective analysis was performed on all patients who underwent involutional blepharoptosis repair in a 30-month period. Physical examination and visual field testing confirmed the increased blepharoptosis in downgaze.
