Abstract

Lipoid proteinosis is a rare disorder involving multiple organ systems. The ocular manifestations are usually trivial, but greatly aid in the diagnosis. We describe a patient who presented to us with typical moniliform blepharosis. A brief description of relevance to the ophthalmologist and review of the literature follows.
