Ptosis
Alternate Names : Blepharoptosis, Drooping of the Upper Eyelid
What are the signs and symptoms of the condition?
A drooping eyelid is usually noticed by the affected person, or the parents of an affected child. The affected eye is usually less open than the normal eye, although the condition can occur in both eyes. Drooping may be the only symptom. All other symptoms are related to the underlying cause. In cases of nerve damage, blurry or double vision may occur and the pupil may be abnormally small or large compared to the other eye. If muscle weakness is the cause, there may be muscle weakness in other areas of the body.
