Ptosis
Ptosis is the paralysis of the muscles of the eyelid. It is commonly called droopy eyelids. The paralysis can be caused in various ways, including congenitally. The paralysis can be partially corrected with a surgical procedure called a frontalis lift , where the eyelids are connected by fascia ties to the frontalis muscles, the muscles in the forehead.
