What Is Ptosis?

Ptosis is a condition where the upper eyelid droops, potentially blocking part or all of the eye and interfering with vision. It can affect one or both eyes and results from muscle weakness, nerve impairment, or structural abnormalities. While commonly associated with aging, ptosis can also be congenital or develop due to injury, prior surgeries, or underlying medical conditions. In addition to altering facial appearance, significant ptosis may cause visual obstruction and eye strain, making proper diagnosis and treatment by a medical professional important for both function and comfort.

Signs & Symptoms of Ptosis

Identifying the signs of ptosis early can support effective treatment. Common symptoms include:

  • Drooping Upper Eyelid: Visible sagging of one or both eyelids, sometimes covering the pupil.
  • Impaired Vision: Blurred or blocked vision caused by the eyelid partially obstructing the eye.
  • Eye Fatigue: Strain or discomfort around the eyes, especially when trying to keep them open for long periods.
  • Facial Imbalance: Noticeable asymmetry between the eyelids, affecting the overall appearance of the face.
