Ptosis (pronounced "toe-sis") is the medical term for drooping eyelids. It occurs when the upper eyelid droops to an abnormal level and covers part of the eye, restricting or obscuring vision. It can also occur at birth and can affect one or both eyes. Ptosis since birth can be congenital type and if it occurs after birth it is called acquired Ptosis. |
