A member asked:
One eye seems to be drooping (about 1/3 closed) and it feels filmy. it is on and off for about a 2 weeks. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be TIA: Your eyelid droop could be a problem with one of the cranial nerves that control the muscles, and this is a potentially serious situation. You should see your eyemd right away, and try to prevent a possible stroke. Many times a transient ischemic attack (TIA) will preceed a stroke and cause nerve changes that come and go.
