What Is Ptosis?

Ptosis refers to the drooping of the upper eyelid, which can partially or fully block vision. It may affect one or both eyes and is typically caused by weakened eyelid muscles, nerve problems, or structural abnormalities. While often associated with aging, ptosis can also be congenital (present at birth) or result from injury, previous surgeries, or underlying medical conditions. In more severe cases, it can interfere with vision and lead to eye strain or discomfort. Because it affects both function and appearance, professional assessment and treatment are important for effective management.

Signs & Symptoms of Ptosis

Identifying the signs of ptosis early can support timely diagnosis and treatment. Common symptoms include:

  • Sagging Upper Eyelid: Visible drooping that may partially cover the pupil
  • Impaired Vision: A reduced field of vision due to the eyelid obstructing the eye
  • Eye Fatigue or Discomfort: Strain from overworking the eye muscles to keep the lid lifted
  • Uneven Eyelids: A lack of symmetry that may alter overall facial appearance

If you're noticing these symptoms, a professional evaluation can help determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
