Ptosis (articulated “toe-sister”) is a condition wherein the upper eyelid droops. This ought not be mistaken for additional skin, fat or muscle to the eyelid, which are ordinarily addressed with blepharoplasty surgical procedure. In Ptosis, the upper eyelid edge (where the eyelashes are) tumbles to – or covers – the pupil when the eye is open. This prompts to visual obstruction.

Ptosis is caused by birth defects in the muscle (or its ligament), which lifts the eyelid. It is likewise connected with developments, which burden the eyelid, or neurological sickness. The most widely recognized reason thatptosis happens is essentially debilitating of the muscle (or its ligament), which happens with age.
