Myasthenia gravis causes ptosis in some patients. Medical treatment is preferred over aggressive surgery in these patients. We report a case of ptosis surgery, which was performed using the frontalis sling technique, in a patient who developed this ocular complication during a steroid taper. Ptosis surgery was effective and reduced the dose of medication and minimized the adverse effects of steroids. The patient's symptoms remained stable for 32 months postoperatively.
