Ptosis can cause problems when you drive, read, or even walk up and down stairs. If that happens, go to your doctor. Treat any other eye issues that could cause more problems. Think about surgery if your doctor suggests it for vision loss or constriction of your vision field caused by ptosis.
Beside above, what causes sudden eyelid droop?
Drooping of the eyelid is called ptosis. Ptosis may result from damage to the nerve that controls the muscles of the eyelid, problems with the muscle strength (as in myasthenia gravis), or from swelling of the lid.
Subsequently, can ptosis go away naturally? Unfortunately, droopy eyelids caused by ptosis cannot be cured with natural treatments, exercises or other home remedies. The nature of ptosis is what prevents it from being treated naturally. When ptosis is unilateral (affects just one eye), which it commonly is, it gives the appearance of uneven eyelids.
