    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Oculoplastics

    Background:

    • Papillary conjunctivitis presents with varied etiologies.
    • Chronic cases resistant to topical therapies may mask other conditions.

    Observation:

    • Floppy eyelid syndrome (FES) diagnosis can be overlooked without assessing lid laxity.
    • Previously, FES was predominantly reported in men (26 of 27 cases).
    • This study details two new cases of FES in women.

    Findings:

    • The presented cases underscore that FES can occur in women.
    • Thorough examination for lid laxity is crucial for diagnosing FES in refractory papillary conjunctivitis.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should consider FES in patients with chronic, unresponsive papillary conjunctivitis.
  • Increased awareness of FES in women may improve diagnostic rates.
  • Management strategies for FES require further investigation, particularly in female patients.
