Hello. Ptosis has a number of different causes- the myogenic (due to muscle problem) and neurogenic (due to nerves) are more suited to your case. Given your age, it is absolutely necessary to get an urgent consultation and a detailed examination to rule out a more serious systemic involvement first. Examination of both the eyes is of prime importance in arriving at a preliminary diagnosis first and then to get some very important tests done asap. An eye doctor would like to know if it’s affecting one eye or both the eyes, since how long you are having this issue, its fluctuation throughout the day, the time of the day when the drooping is maximum, whether you have any other problem in the body, if any of your family members have had the same problems. A picture and video of your eyes along with various types of movements will be a lot helpful. You can reach me out anytime for consultation and further examination in detail, so that your concerns can be addressed without any further delay. Will be happy to help. Thank you.
