This article presents a relatively large number of patients, 28, with myogenic blepharoptosis. It explores the underlying syndromes, the associated clinical findings, the indications for surgery, and the outcomes of surgery in challenging type of blepharoptosis.

This article also highlights the pitfalls to avoid undercorrection and overcorrection in this type form of blepharoptosis.
