Blepharochalasis is an inflammation of the eyelid that is characterized by exacerbations and remissions of eyelid edema, which results in a stretching and subsequent atrophy of the eyelid tissue, leading to the formation of redundant folds over the lid margins. It typically affects only the upper eyelids, and may be unilateral as well as bilateral.
Ascher's syndrome is a rare clinical entity distinguished by blepharochalasis, double upper lip appearance, and nontoxic goiter. Nontoxic goiter is a rare finding, occurring in only 10-50% of cases. It may appear several years following the onset of blepharochalasis, so it is not
Dermatochalasis is caused by a loss of elasticity in the connective tissue supporting the structure of the front portion of the eyelid. [3] Normally, in Caucasians, the orbicularis muscle and overlying skin form a crease near the tarsal border. [3]

Ptosis, also known as blepharoptosis, [1] is a drooping or falling of the upper eyelid.This condition is sometimes called "lazy eye", but that term normally refers to the condition amblyopia.
The main symptoms are swollen red eyelids, pain, and itching. Chronic eyelid edema can lead to blepharochalasis. Eyelid tumors may also occur. Basal cell carcinomas are the most frequently encountered kind of cancer affecting the eyelid, making up 85% to 95% of all malignant eyelid tumors. [5] The tumors may be benign or malignant.
Blepharophimosis forms a part of blepharophimosis, ptosis, epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES), also called blepharophimosis syndrome, which is an autosomal dominant condition characterised by blepharophimosis, ptosis (upper eyelid drooping), epicanthus inversus (skin folds by the nasal bridge, more prominent lower than upper lid) and telecanthus (widening of the distance between the inner ...
