This document discusses the classification and evaluation of ptosis (drooping of the upper eyelid). Ptosis can be neurogenic, myogenic, aponeurotic, mechanical or pseudoptosis. Common causes include third nerve palsy, Horner syndrome, myasthenia gravis, and congenital conditions. Evaluation involves measuring the marginal reflex distance, levator function, and upper lid excursion. Treatment depends on the type and severity of ptosis, and may include procedures like levator resection or frontalis brow suspension.
