A member asked:
Can constantly rubbing eyes cause the eyelid to droop?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lid droop: Yes, years of constant rubbing of the eye can weaken the muscles in charge of keeping the lid in its proper position. Intermittent lid drop or ptosis without a history of long term lid rubbing can be evaluated by an eyemd to assess its cause.
