title: [Syndrome of the flaccid eyelid (floppy eyelid syndrome].
abstract: Three patients with increasing swelling of the lateral half of the upper lid associated with chronic papillary conjunctivitis which did not respond to therapy were observed. The history, clinical findings, keratinized epithelial cells in the scrapings and the therapeutic success with a protective shield over night suggested the diagnosis of floppy eyelid syndrome.
