Amyloidosis is a spectrum of disorders characterized by the deposition of amyloid , an extracellular protein in an abnormal fibrillar form, with highly characteristic histopathologic staining properties. Eyelid involvement can be associated with both immunologic (primary) and reactive (secondary) amyloidosis.We present a case of unilateral localized conjunctival and tarsal plate amyloidosis, presenting as ptosis. 

Keywords: Amyloid, Conjunctiva, Tarsus, Ptosis.
