Drooping eyelid

Question


My 24 year old son has been experienceing some drooping in his right upper eyelid which is causing him significant anxiety. He says the iris it the eye with the droop is darker in color and the pupil seems bigger. We are not sure if the droop is causing the anxiety or anxiety maybe causing the droop or whether there maybe a medical problem with the eye.



Answer
Dear Lisa,



He may need to be examined by an eye specialist first and if no eye related issues, probably a neurologist opinion may be required.



However, an eye doctor can guide you best.



This needs an examination, just the image does not give much information.



You may however email the report to dranand@lasikindia.in for any suggestions.



Hope this helps,

Best,
