    Floppy eyelid syndrome, a chronic conjunctivitis, features a loose upper eyelid and conjunctival inflammation. This study reports seven male cases, with obesity being a common factor in four patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Floppy eyelid syndrome (FES) is a chronic condition affecting the upper eyelid.
    • It is characterized by a lax tarsus and conjunctival changes.

    Observation:

    • The study presents seven cases of floppy eyelid syndrome.
    • All reported cases involved male patients.
    • Obesity was noted in four of the seven patients.

    Findings:

    • FES presents with a readily evertable upper lid.
    • A hallmark is a soft, pliable tarsus that folds easily.
    • Diffuse papillary conjunctivitis is a consistent feature.

    Implications:

    • Understanding the clinical presentation of FES is crucial for diagnosis.

  • The association with male gender and obesity warrants further investigation.
  • Further research may elucidate underlying pathomechanisms and treatment strategies.
