What is ptosis?

 

Ptosis is characterized by an upper eyelid that droops over the eye. Ptosis can range in severity from slight drooping to limiting or blocking normal vision. It can affect both eyes or in some instances just one.

The condition can cause a person to look much older or more exhausted than they are and can have significant effects on one’s self esteem. Luckily, there is a ptosis treatment (more on this below) that can last 10 to 15 years which improves appearance as well as vision.

What causes ptosis?

The facial muscle that allows the eyelids to function is called a levator muscle. With age or eye trauma, this muscle stretches or may even separate from the eyelid, causing a bothersome droop or sag. 

The condition can occur in anyone at any age. It can also cause extremely dry or watery eyes and some patients may experience aching around their eyes.
