Age 50, I’m wondering if this could be ptosis in my right eye? (Photos)

Question

Updated: I have included two photos of my eyes. A bit blurry, I apologize. I’m wondering if you tell as to whether I have Ptosis? I have included a recent photo of my eyes. I am wondering if this could be ptosis in the right eye? I’m 50 years old and it has also seemed to be worse when I’m tired.

Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photos. You have ptosis (drooping) of the eyelid. This can be corrected by an oculoplastic surgeon with one of several methods. See an experienced oculoplastic surgeon for comprehensive evaluation and treatment guidance.
Good luck,

The photos are blurry, but the angle is also misleading. Having said that, your right eyelid (on the left side of the photo) seems to be ptotic. Try to have someone take the photo for you: your head should be in a neutral position and you should be looking into the lens for best results. Seek an experienced Oculo-facial plastic surgeon (Oculoplastics). Virtual consultations are available.
