Abstract: Congenital blepharoptosis is one of the common eye diseases during childhood. It can affect the children on appearance and more importantly, on visual and psychological development. Currently, there are much controversy and mistakes on the diagnosis and treatment of congenital blepharoptosis in children. Close attention should be put to the assessment of visual development, determination on the time of surgery, choice of surgical strategy and the material of suspension, and the improvement of visual acuity and function after surgery.
