What Is Ptosis?

Ptosis is a condition characterized by the drooping of the upper eyelid, which can partially or completely obstruct vision. It can affect one or both eyes and occurs due to weakened muscles, nerve dysfunction, or structural issues. Commonly seen in older adults, ptosis can also be present at birth (congenital ptosis). It may result from aging, injury, previous surgeries, or certain medical conditions. Beyond affecting appearance, severe ptosis can impair vision and cause discomfort, making professional evaluation and treatment essential.

Signs & Symptoms of Ptosis

Recognizing the symptoms of ptosis can help in seeking timely treatment. Common signs include:

  • Drooping Eyelid: A noticeable sagging of the upper eyelid, which may cover part of the pupil.
  • Obstructed Vision: Difficulty seeing due to the droopy eyelid blocking your field of vision.
  • Eye Strain: Tiredness or discomfort around the eyes, especially when trying to keep them open.
  • Asymmetrical Appearance: Uneven eyelids, which can affect facial symmetry.
