Early fourteenth-century manuscript initial showing King Edward I of England and his wife Eleanor of Castile. The artist has depicted Edward's blepharoptosis, a trait he inherited from his father, King Henry III. Signs and symptoms typically seen in this condition include: * The eyelid(s) may appear to droop. * Droopy eyelids can give the appearance of fatigue. * The eyelid may not protect the eye as effectively, allowing it to dry out. * Sagging upper eyelids can partially block the person's field of view. * Obstructed vision may cause a person to tilt their head back to speak. * The areas around the eyes may become tired and achy. * Eyebrows may be constantly lifted to see properly. Some of the risk factors for ptosis include: * Eye tumor. * Diabetes. * History of stroke. * Cancer. * Neurological disorder. * Age. Eye muscles weaken as they age, increasing the chance of the eyelids drooping.
