Upper eye lid droppy
Upper eye lid does not lift fully well as compared to the other eye so I look very weird on video calls and in general. One eye looks weak and small while the other side of face looks perfectly fine. Both eyes should have the upper lid lifting to the same height so that one does not look serious and other does not look wide open. Apart from surgery how can I fix this because this is not a huge difference in eyelids. But it does screw the cosmetic appearances. Please guide. I have a feeling that this eyelid of one eye started drooping after a seizure I had when I was a kid. Epilepsy one. So can using an eye patch over the strong eye fix the weak one and make the eyelid lift or I need to neurogenically do something here. Please guide

No..using patch will not fix it . We will have to check if this is congenital ptosis or there is any reason for it .. Then the treatment is planned depending on type and degree of ptosis..mostly surgical ..
