Droppy Eyelid
Posted: 06-24-06 12:40pm

Im a 43 year old male,in the last 2-3 years ,i have noticed that my left eye lid gets droppy ,especially if im tired or stressed. It does not impair my vision at all,but I notice it getting progressively worse. Can anyone tell me what it is or from?Also what can be done to fix it. Im in good health no major medical problems, no diabetes or high blood pressure. Thanks

Drooping of the upper eyelid also known as (ptosis) can happen for many reason such as age, weakness of the levator muscle etc. Ptosis repair surgery can be done to fix the problem.

I had a surgery done to correct my left eyelid. But surprisingly, the left eyelid became the "larger" eye. Till now right eye with the eyelid is giving me a lot of problem. Lazy eyes, droppy eyelid, misaligned eye... Blah blah blah... N im already 18.... Life is long long long , way too long
