    Involutional blepharoptosis, a common eyelid condition, is often caused by aponeurogenic defects. Surgical correction is discussed for this acquired condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Oculoplastics
    • Histopathology

    Background:

    • Involutional blepharoptosis is a common age-related condition affecting the eyelids.
    • Understanding the underlying pathology is crucial for effective treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the histological basis of involutional blepharoptosis.
    • To propose a revised classification and surgical approach for acquired blepharoptosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Histological examination of nineteen eyelid specimens from patients with involutional blepharoptosis.

    Main Results:

    • Aponeurogenic defects were identified as the primary cause in the majority of examined cases.
    • Histological findings support the role of levator aponeurosis dehiscence or stretching.

    Conclusions:

    • Involutional blepharoptosis is frequently associated with aponeurogenic defects.
    • A revised classification and specific surgical procedure are proposed for optimal correction.
