Eyelid ptosis affects the muscles in the eyelid that are designed to lift the upper eyelid. It is most commonly caused by ageing but can also occur in younger adult patients who wear contact lenses. This is due to the continuous contact with the eye during insertion and removal of the lenses. Very occasionally ptosis can be caused by neuromuscular disease.

Eyelid ptosis can also occur with the use of some drugs following eyelid trauma eyelid problems or as a by-product of an eyelid lump such as a large chalazion or tumour.
