Why does just one eyelid droop?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Ptosis: Ptosis, or eyelid drooping, has multiple possible causes. These include aging, neurological conditions, inflammation, and mechanical causes (from something weighing the lid down or residual effects from a previous infection). It's very important for you to have this evaluated by an ophthalmologist to make sure this isn't a significant condition.
