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.

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.

Congenital and acquired blepharoptosis
Current Opinion in Opthalmology, 1999Blepharoptosis is a relatively common condition that is frequently encountered by the ophthalmic surgeon. Treatment remains somewhat unpredictable, and the choice of one of the various surgical options depends on the cause of the ptosis and the amount of levator function.

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.

Bilateral blepharoptosis in a juvenile
Brain and Development, 2017In adults, aponeurotic blepharoptosis is the most common type of ptosis. However, myogenic ptosis is the predominant cause, and bilateral aponeurotic ptosis is very rare among children. Here, we report a previously healthy 10-year-old Japanese girl with bilateral aponeurotic blepharoptosis who presented initially with bilateral blepharoptosis for about

Blepharoptosis: diagnostic tests
Vestnik oftal'mologii, 2016The article discusses diagnostic algorithms for blepharoptosis in patients with Horner's syndrome, myasthenia, chronic progressive ophthalmoplegia, myotonic dystrophy, and acute neurovascular events. Basic methods for evaluating the upper eyelid position and ptosis severity as well as special pharmacologic stress tests to reveal the true etiology of ...
