I am 28 yrs.old back in 2013 my right eye began to droop and has continually gotten worse. I'm not sure what to do. Can losing weight help cure ptosis?

Answer: Unilateral Ptosis Thanks for your question and photo. I agree with Dr. Martin. You certainly have a right sided ptosis. There are many causes of ptosis but in your age group is often congenital, related to contact lens wear or trauma or simply iatrogenic. I thorough evaluation should be performed by an experience oculoplastic surgeon in your area to determine the cause and best surgical course of treatment. Good luck to you!
