Upper eyelid taping to stimulate visual development in amblyogenic congenital ptosis.

Amblyogenic congenital ptosis in a young child generally requires amblyopia therapy and, if that proves ineffective, prompt surgical intervention. However, early surgery for severe congenital ptosis is often associated with poor cosmesis and a higher reoperation rate than surgery performed near school age. We report the case of a child with amblyogenic congenital ptosis successfully managed with upper eyelid taping through 5 years of age.
