PTOSIS

 

 

Ptosis (pronounced toe' sis), or drooping of the upper eyelid , may occur for several reasons such as: disease, injury, birth defect, previous eye surgery and age. The droop may be barely noticeable, or the lid can descend over the entire pupil . The eyelids serve to protect and lubricate the outer eye. The upper eyelid is lifted by a muscle called the lwevator muscle. The muscle controlling lid opening is the levator palpebrae superioris and it is innervated by the third cranial nerve. Ptosis is a drooping or sagging of a body part. Blepharoptosis is a drooping of an upper eyelid. Abnormal lowering or drooping of an organ or a part, especially a drooping of the upper eyelid caused by muscle weakness or paralysis. This is a more complex procedure in which muscles of the brow or forehead may be used to assist in elevation of the upper eyelid.
