How can I strengthen my rt. eyelid? It started drooping over the last couple of years worse when I'm tired. (Photo)

Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photo. Unfortunately, there are no eye exercises which correct ptosis. It requires treatment by a highly trained oculoplastic surgeon. See a specialist for comprehensive evaluation and discussion of treatment options. Good luck,

Unfortunately, the levator muscle responsible for lifting the upper eyelid does not improve with exercise (unlike other muscles in the body). In the fact, the reason the eyelid gets droopy is because this muscle gets stretched from constant use (eyes opens 20,000 per day!).  The answer would be eyelid ptosis surgery where the muscle is tightened. See link below and see an oculoplastic surgeon.

Sure, long term contact lens wear does require daily manipulation of the eyelids and this can contribute to upper eyelid ptosis.  However, discontinuation of the contact lens does not fix the issue.  You have left upper eyelid ptosis and this requires a surgical correction.  See a fellowship trained oculoplastic surgeon. 

you have to muscles that raise your eyelid. Typically towards the end of the day the one muscle called Mueller's muscle, doesn't fire as efficiently. my best advice would be to see an oculoplastic surgeon,or someone who specializes in eyelid surgery to evaluate whether your muscles need to be shortened or reconstructed. It doesn't look , from the photo, that you  have a lot of excess skin, that's causing the problem. That's usually the case more in older patients

Hi BriRaq,Thanks for your question and photo. It is not uncommon for patient's with a long history of contact lens wear to develop ptosis. Typically, the ptosis develops slowly and asymmetrically. Based on your photo, you appear to have left sided ptosis. The only way to correct this is with a straightforward surgical repair. Your astigmatism is not playing any role in the ptosis.I would recommend an evaluation with a skilled oculoplastic surgeon in your area. Good luck!
