Blepharoptosis or ptosis (pronounced TOE-sis) is defined as drooping of the upper eyelid. Ptosis can be bilateral or unilateral and can be difficult to identify unless a proper exam is performed.
When congenital ptosis affects visual development in children, surgery may be required to prevent the development of amblyopia. Ptosis must also be differentiated from dermatochalasis, which is simply extra eyelid skin that can also cause the appearance of a droopy eyelid.
