Transtorno adquirido de origem desconhecida, que se manifesta por pálpebras superiores frouxas facilmente evertidas e conjuntivite papilar da conjuntiva palpebral superior. Está associado primariamente a homens obesos e apneia obstrutiva do sono. O tarso da pálpebra superior se torna mais macio e frouxo provavelmente devido a forças mecânicas e mudanças enzimáticas. A pálpebra superior everte durante o sono, resultando em irritação, conjuntivite papilar e queratinização conjuntival. O tratamento efetivo consiste em prevenir que a pálpebra superior everta enquanto o paciente dorme. | |||
