The congenital form is less common and self limiting. Treatment is warranted when it causes changes that can cause visual problems. Acquired form is usually secondary to other findings in the eyes like shortening of the posterior lamella of the eyelid because of varying causes. Definitive treatment would include correcting the primary pathology.
