Ptosis is the term for droopy, sagging eyelids. There are several causes of eyelid ptosis including age, injury, muscle or nerve disorders, and congenital defects. Droopy or baggy eyelids not only can falsely portray an aged or tired appearance but often it can affect vision. Patients often complain of a brow or forehead ache and fatigue at the end of the day as they continually lift their brows to see. Eyebrow ptosis can also occur with aging and be visually significant. It can cause the skin below the brow to overhang over the eyelids/lashes and block vision, especially if the forehead falls below the brow bone. Since there are many causes of ptosis, it is vital to undergo evaluation by a qualified physician who can properly evaluate and treat a patient with ptosis. Surgery is usually necessary to correct ptosis and is performed on an outpatient basis.
