Is 26 Too Young for Ptosis and Can it be Fixed Without Surgery?

July 21, 2011
Asked By:vbee in Akron, OH

I started to have a droop on my upper right eye, (seemingly within just a week!) then a year later the left started to do it and now the right seems twice as bad. I am only 27, I have no idea what could be causing this or how to fix it. Thanks!
