Fission: Congenital blepharophimosis has a familial genetic feature.Type I: Common type: Inherited from the father, women suffer from infertility, with complete penetrance, reaching 100%.
Type II: Equal transmission opportunity from both parents, incomplete penetrance, with a penetrance rate of approximately 96.5%.
Treatment: Congenital blepharophimosis severely affects the facial appearance of affected children, leading to poor visual function, which significantly impacts their lives.
Surgical Timing: It is generally recommended to perform eyelid widening surgery between the ages of 2-3. If the child also suffers from amblyopia and refractive errors, the surgery should be scheduled earlier based on the actual condition.
