Floppy eyelid syndrome and blepharochalasis may represent a spectrum of one underlying disease. Two patients with floppy eyelid syndrome and one with blepharochalasis shared important clinical similarities. ⋯ Histopathologic findings were similar in the three cases, characterized by chronic conjunctival inflammation with normal tarsal collagen. In all three patients surgical horizontal eyelid shortening led to improvement in symptoms and findings.
