Cases of congenital ptosis are rare, that too occurring in twins. We are presenting a case of mono zygotic twins with bilateral ptosis with congenital fibrosis of extraocular muscles (CFEOM). A 5-year-old boy child and his twin brother who are monozygotic twins presented with bilateral ptosis. Both children had been diagnosed as having congenital fibrosis of extraocular muscles (CFEOM). Parents have refused surgical intervention for the extraocular muscle weakness. They were advised, if the twins complained of any visual abnormality, they should be brought to the ophthalmologists for further assessment.
