Reasons for Droopy Eyelids




 
 

7.Diabetes
Over time, high blood sugar can damage blood vessels and nerves in and around your eyes. You might get a droopy eyelid along with double vision. That can happen with diabetic third nerve palsy. Symptoms sometimes get better when you manage your diabetes. But the doctor might suggest surgery if your ptosis affects your vision and lasts longer than 6 months.

 

8.Botox
Botulinum toxin (Botox) can paralyze your muscles, like the ones that cause wrinkles. You might not have any problems with Botox. But it’s possible for the toxin to get into the muscle that controls your upper eyelid. Your ptosis should get better as it wears off, but apraclonidine eyedrops might help. Your doctor will help you decide what treatment is right for you.
