Ptosis (Drooping Eyelid)
By Judith Lee and Gretchyn Bailey; reviewed by
Dr. Vance Thompson
Ptosis refers to the drooping of an eyelid, and it affects only the upper eyelid of one or both eyes. The droop may be barely noticeable, or the lid can descend over the entire pupil. Ptosis can occur in both children and adults, but happens most often due to aging.
