Coming soonAcquired blepharoptosis is an abnormal downward displacement or drooping of the upper eyelid margin that develops after birth rather than being present congenitally.
Primarily affecting adult and elderly populations, it stems from structural compromise, dehiscence, or stretching of the levator palpebrae superioris aponeurosis (involutional or aponeurotic ptosis), though it can also arise from neurogenic, myogenic, or mechanical dysfunctions.
Clinically, the condition manifests unilaterally or bilaterally with a reduced marginal reflex distance-1 and narrowed palpebral fissure, frequently causing superior visual field deficits, ocular fatigue, and compensatory brow elevation.
