Eyelid Ptosis Before & After Pictures

What causes eyelids to droop?

Perhaps you, or someone you know, have visible drooping of one or both upper eyelids that causes the eye to appear partially closed because the eye's levator muscle can't open wide enough to fully expose the iris (the colored central part of your eye). This condition is called Ptosis (TOE-sis).

Eyelid ptosis is caused by an anatomical defect that you're born with it or an acquired functional problem caused by nerve damage, age, or certain medical conditions (stroke, Horner's syndrome, myasthenia gravis, diabetes, a tumor, or stye).
