Demographic and clinical data of the patients was collected from the oculoplasty clinic files and analysed retrospectively.The mean age was 17.4 yrs. The male to female ratio was 2.75:1. Presence of amblyopia was noted in 46.7% patients. 34 patients had simple congenital ptosis, 1 had blepharophimosis syndrome and congenital third nerve palsy was seen in 1 patient. 2 patients had aponeurotic type. Post traumatic ptosis was seen in 4 patients, myogenic (superior rectus cysticercosis) in 1, cavernous sinus mucormycosis in 1 and CPEO in 1 patient. LPS resection was done in 21 patients, LPS reinsertion in 1, sling surgery in 18,Fasanella Servat operation in 1 patient. 2 patients were medically managed and 2 were kept under observation.The study is helpful for ophthalmologists in guiding diagnosis, evaluation and management of such patients.
