What Is Ptosis?
Ptosis is a condition where the upper eyelid droops lower than normal, which can be caused by:
- Weakening or stretching of the levator muscle (the muscle that lifts the eyelid)
- Nerve damage or neurological issues
- Aging and skin laxity
- Congenital factors (present at birth)
- Trauma or previous surgeries
Ptosis can affect one or both eyes and vary in severity from mild to severe.
