TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 25. Disorders of the Eyelids A1 - Lueder, Gregg T. Y1 - 2011 N1 - T2 - Pediatric Practice: Ophthalmology AB - The most common eyelid abnormality in children is ptosis (blepharoptosis), which causes drooping of the eyelid. The upper eyelid normally rests just below the junction of the cornea and sclera (the limbus) superiorly. Eyelid retraction is the opposite of ptosis—the upper eyelid rests too high on the globe, such that the sclera above the iris is visible. Lagophthalmos is present if the eyelids do not close completely.
