Specialty
In most cases, it is caused by weakness of the eyelid’s lifting muscle, although a thorough evaluation and accurate diagnosis are essential in each case.
It can be caused by congenital factors (present at birth) or acquired conditions (muscle stretching, trauma, or neurological disorders).
The main treatment is usually surgery to lift the eyelid, although the approach may vary depending on the underlying cause.
Drooping upper eyelid
The upper eyelid drops more than normal, affecting one or both eyes.
May affect vision
It may limit the visual field and cause constant effort to keep the eyes open.
Treatment
It depends on the cause and severity. In many cases, it is corrected through surgery.
