Blepharoptosis may be caused by ptosis of eyelid skin or ptosis. With the growth of age, everyone may have a state of eyelid skin relaxation, which is a normal phenomenon. If you feel that it affects the appearance, you can consider surgery, which does not indicate any disease. If it is ptosis, it is related to the dysfunction of oculomotor nerve or levator palpebrae. The ptosis, if there is morning curtain weight, may be myasthenia gravis, which requires nervous system examination, such as neostigmine test, to make a clear diagnosis and further treatment. The common cause of unilateral or bilateral ptosis may also be caused by diabetes. Neuromuscular complications caused by abnormal peripheral nerve or thyroid function should be determined by relevant endocrine examination.

There are two main reasons for blepharoptosis, one is blepharoptosis, and the other is blepharoptosis.

If blepharoptosis occurs suddenly in the near future, it should be considered that it is caused by the neurogenesis of levator palpebrae superioris or the control of levator palpebrae superioris. The specific reasons need to go to the ophthalmology and neurology department of the hospital.

If it is caused by nerve or muscle problems, oral neurotrophic drugs, such as mecobalamin, can be taken to promote recovery, and acupuncture treatment is also effective for it.
