    The case of drooping eyelids is considered to be a sagging eyelid ** or a ptosis. As we age, everyone may have a state of sagging eyelids**, which is a normal phenomenon, and if you feel that it affects your appearance, you can consider surgery, which does not indicate any disease. If it is a ptosis, it is related to factors such as oculomotor nerve or levator palpebrae muscle dysfunction.

Ptosis in one or both eyes may also be caused by diabetes, and complications of nerve and muscle abnormalities caused by peripheral nerve abnormalities or thyroid dysfunction should be determined by relevant endocrinological examinations.

    There are two main reasons for drooping eyelids, one is caused by ptosis, and the other is caused by laxity of the eyelids.

    If ptosis occurs recently and suddenly, it is considered that it is caused by a lesion of the levator palpebrae muscle or the nerve innervating the levator palpebrae muscle, and it is necessary to go to the ophthalmology department and neurology department of the hospital to see the specific cause.

    If it is due to nerve or muscle problems, oral neurotrophic drugs such as methylcobalamin can be taken to promote recovery, and acupuncture** can also have some effect on it.

    In addition, some patients are caused by congenital ptosis, which is present after birth, and this type of patient is usually only surgical**.

    Another reason for eyelid drooping is caused by the sagging of the eyelids, which is common in the elderly, and can only be improved by cosmetic plastic surgery for the sagging eyelids, and drugs and other physical methods have no obvious effect on it.
