Abstract

Nonsurgical treatments of ptosis benefit patients who are poor surgical candidates. This includes patients with progressive ptosis and poor Bell’s phenomenon as seen in chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO), myotonic dystrophy, and patients with variable ptosis secondary to myasthenia gravis. The eyelid may be elevated mechanically or pharmacologically.
