Drooping eyelid
A drooping eyelid, or ptosis, occurs when the upper eyelid falls to a lower position than normal. It can affect one or both eyes and may obstruct vision if severe. Common causes include ageing and weakened eyelid muscles, nerve damage (third cranial nerve palsy) and myasthenia gravis.
