Abstract
Floppy eyelid syndrome is a clinical entity associated with a chronic papillary conjunctivitis which is resistant to topical therapeutic agents. The disorder is usually found in older, obese males with upper eyelids which are loose, rubbery, and easily everted. This paper is a review of the clinical characteristics and treatment of the syndrome and includes a case of a 16-year-old male with floppy eyelid syndrome, one of the youngest reported.
