A Critical Review

Robert B. Daroff, MD

Arch Ophthalmol. 1969;82(6):845-850.

Abstract
The syndrome of chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia has been generally regarded as denoting an ocular myopathy. Recent evidence is presented, however, which both denies the universality of a myopathic etiology and demonstrates our present inability to distinguish between myopathy and neural weakness of ocular muscles.
