What is ptosis?

The eyelid is an organ that helps protect the eye from potential dangers such as sunlight, bright light, artificial light, dust, and foreign objects that may damage the cornea. Ptosis is a condition where the skin covering the upper eyelid descends more than normal, obstructing vision. Normally, the upper eyelid should cover the eye no more than 2 millimeters. If it descends further, it can reduce the amount of visible eye. This can be corrected with eyelid surgery, with the doctor determining the appropriate technique for the patient.

Causes of ptosis

Ptosis can occur due to various reasons, such as abnormalities of the eyelid muscles, accidents involving the eyelid, eyelid inflammation, and weak eyelid muscles. It can also be caused by habits that stretch or injure the muscles, such as frequent eye rubbing, wearing improperly curved contact lenses, or allergic reactions to contact lenses due to inadequate cleaning. Additionally, it can result from problems with the third cranial nerve or tumors pressing on the nerve, leading to droopy or weak eyelids. It can also occur as a complication of eye surgery or surgery around the eyes that affects the eyelid muscles.
