Congenital ptosis is caused by the development of the levator palpebraeus superior muscle or nerve nucleus of the eye; acquired ptosis may be caused by lesions in the eyelid itself, nervous system lesions or trauma, and can be divided into complete ptosis and partial ptosis according to the degree of ptosis.

2. Symptoms: The main symptoms include low upper eyelids on one or both sides, significantly lower than normal positions, and even partially blocking the pupils. Patients may experience symptoms such as vision impairment, blurred vision, and visual fatigue. They may also be accompanied by other eye symptoms such as eye movement disorders, etc.

3. Diagnosis: The doctor will diagnose ptosis based on the patient's medical history, eye manifestations and physical examination. Sometimes additional examinations, such as vision examination, eye muscle function examination, etc., may be required.

For severe ptosis, surgical treatment may be required, such as levator palpebrae superior muscle shortening or frontal muscle suspension.
