Drooping eyelid
Ptosis is associated with a change in the position of the natural ptosis line of the upper eyelid. It can lead to functional problems, such as limited visibility in the upper part of the field of vision, as well as aesthetic problems, affecting the appearance of the eyes and the entire face. It is a common problem that can occur in children, adolescents and adults.
Description of the problem
The causes of a drooping eyelid can be varied and include weakness of the muscles responsible for supporting the eyelid, damage to the nerves controlling eyelid movement, age-related changes, trauma, neurological diseases, and genetic changes. A drooping eyelid can also be the result of excessive tension in the eyelid muscles, which leads to fatigue and lowering of the eyelid.
Symptoms of a drooping eyelid can include reduced visibility, a feeling of heaviness or tired eyes, decreased elasticity of the eyelid, and even aesthetic abnormalities. In some people, the symptoms may be mild and do not significantly affect daily functioning, while in others they can lead to a significant decrease in quality of life and lower self-esteem.
Treatment
In cases where the drooping eyelid is caused by muscle or nerve damage, your eye doctor may recommend a surgical procedure, such as blepharoplasty, which involves removing excess skin and tissue. In some cases, when the drooping eyelid is caused by a neurological condition, you may need medication or rehabilitation therapy under the supervision of a specialist.
