How do you get rid of ptosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Find the cause?: You are 41 years old and hopefully ptosis is of recent on set and you did not undergo any eye surgery? It is assumed you have ptosis bilaterally? It will be prudent to see if you get easily tired, loose voice etc ( mysthenia gravis) etc to be ruled out. Next rule out any chronic eye conditions like allergic conjunctivitis, trauma etc. The next will be to have eye exam by an ophthalmologist
