Drooping Eyelids treatment in Cuauhtémoc

Drooping eyelids, also called eyelid ptosis, occur when the edge of the upper eyelid descends more than normal and can cover part of the eye. They can affect one or both eyelids.

Common causes: The natural aging of the tissues is the most frequent, although factors present from birth, injuries, or certain muscular and nerve conditions can also play a role.

When to see a doctor? When the eyelid interferes with vision, appears suddenly, or is accompanied by other changes in the eye.

Which specialist evaluates them? The ophthalmologist is the appropriate professional to examine the eyelids and their effect on vision; the general practitioner can guide the first consultation. If you notice that the eyelid limits your field of vision, it is advisable to have an eye professional examine it.
