Sudden drooping eyelid - help!?!


Question: Sudden drooping eyelid - help!!?
yesterday i noticed that my left eyelid had suddenly began to feel heavy and droop, there is an extra crease in the lid and it is noticeable!. i also suffer with strabismus but i keep that under control with exercise and contact lenses and have had that all my life and have never had this drooping!. i do wear waterproof mascara and do rub my eyes a lot also during make-up removal, but i have been wearing this for years!. could it be damage!? i'm really really worried it's permanent!

your thoughts!?
thanks :-)Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
A sudden onset of ptosis could be a few different things!. Beings that you have strabisums this could have something to do with!. Believe it or not contacts also could cause this!. But most of all there could be an underlying condtion like a nerve palsy or paresis!. I would see and ophthamologist of and Oculoplastics Doctor they specialize in these sorts of issues!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

See your optician as soon as you can!. There are several causes but you should have it checked just in case it's the indication of an underlying problem!.
There are lots of things that need to be checked to determine the cause and to determine if it is permanent or not!. Your optician will be able to help you, your GP will normally refer any eye problems to an optician so go straight there!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
