Abstract :A 72 year old patient with bilateral ptosis and progressive restricted eye movements was diagnosed as chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia CPEO . We performed frontalis suspension surgery with silicone rod as a sling material. The result after twelve month follow up was satisfactory, the visual axis remained open without any complications.
