Ptosis
Ptosis is also called droopy eyelid, where the eyelid falls on the eyes, which may lead to vision impairment.
Description:
Ptosis is a condition where the upper eyelid drops, sags, or covers your eye. Usually, it occurs as a result of an improper function of the levator muscle. Depending on how far your lid droops, the disease may partially or totally interfere with your vision. It is of two types: congenital and acquired.
Cause:
Ptosis causes vary; some babies are born with congenital ptosis, while acquired ptosis occurs later in life due to weakened muscles or ligaments. Conditions like stye, Horner syndrome, myasthenia gravis, stroke, tumor, and external ophthalmoplegia can cause drooping. Most ptosis occurs with aging and previous eye surgery.
Symptoms:
Ptosis is a condition characterized by excessive eyelid rubbing, increased tearing, impaired vision, dryness, and achiness around the eyes. Children may tip their heads back to see.
