Lid ptosis: A droopy lid is called ptosis of the eyelid. There are many causes from birth defect to a variety of traumas and diseases. If this is a new event you should have an ophthalmologist look at it. If present and stable for many years, it can be surgically elevated by an oculoplastic surgeon. Your ophthalmologist can recommend one for you.
