Squinting is not necessarily a bad sleep! There are 1 person among young men aged around 20 in Taichung City. Because of congenital ptosis of one eye, they are often misunderstood as lack of sleep, and they doze off all day. The large and small eyes also make their whole faces lose symmetry. The doctor said that if the eyelids droop seriously and delay treatment, it will not only affect the appearance, but also cause amblyopia.

There are congenital and acquired reasons for ptosis, which will affect vision in severe cases. The picture is just a simulation of big and small eyes. (Photo/Hong) Chen, a plastic surgeon at the Beauty Center of the Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University, said that the upper eyelid of a normal person does not cover the pupil more than 0. 1 cm, which can be regarded as "blepharoptosis". Generally speaking, ptosis can be divided into congenital and acquired, and acquired can be subdivided into three types: neurological, muscular and traumatic.

Types of eye drops

1. Congenital ptosis: The levator palpebrae superioris muscle is mostly an unexplained lesion, sometimes invading one eye and sometimes involving both eyes. If it is serious, it may cause amblyopia and affect life if it is not corrected early.

2. Neurotic ptosis: It is often a tumor or lesion that causes damage to the third pair of cranial nerves, making the nerves that control the levator palpebrae unable to function.

3. Muscular ptosis: Common in the elderly, it gradually relaxes due to fatty degeneration of eye muscles, forming a commonly known "triangle eye". Treatment should be clearly distinguished from myasthenia gravis.

4. Traumatic ptosis: It is caused by accidental injury to levator palpebrae superioris muscle.
