Since optometrists are becoming more involved with postoperative cataract care and the often associated traumatic ptosis, a comprehensive discussion of ptosis, including its etiology, classification as either congenital, acquired, or pseudoptosis, and evaluation, is presented. Referral situations and management strategy are discussed. To illustrate these points, a case of transient acquired ptosis is reviewed.
