Congenital Ptosis

The disease is often accompanied by paralysis of the superior rectus muscle of the eye and is:

  • Hereditary
  • Appears at birth
  • Unilateral or bilateral

Drooping of the eyelid depending on the severity can cover the pupil and lead to permanent damage to vision (amblyopia), in these cases surgical correction will be done early but if it does not cover the pupil the surgical correction will be done at age 6-7 years old.
