Neither of my parents have droopy eyelids, is it hereditary?

Some friends have found that they do not have ptosis, and their parents also have the same condition. So, is this condition hereditary? In fact, experts tell us that there is a certain genetic probability for this situation to occur, but the probability is actually not high. Many times, when this happens, it is likely caused by physical development. If there is no discomfort, you don’t need to worry too much.

Where are the eyelids? Many people are not quite sure where the eyelids are. Many people, not only the elderly but also young people, gradually experience drooping eyelids. Some children have drooping eyelids at a very young age. What exactly causes drooping eyelids?

Where are the eyelids? Many people don’t know where the eyelids are. When we have conjunctivitis, many ointments will ask us to apply them to the lower eyelids. So where are the eyelids? The eyelid is actually the location of our eyelids, to put it simply, it is the two doors of the eyes. The eyelids are divided into upper eyelids and lower eyelids. We usually apply ointment on the lower eyelid when applying it to the eyes, so that the ointment can enter our eyeball and achieve the therapeutic effect.

As we age or develop bad living habits, our eyelids will begin to sag. Drooping eyelids not only make people look listless, but also affect the appearance and make the whole person look older. How do you tell if a person has drooping eyelids? If you see some people around you with one eye being larger than the other, and the upper eyelid of the smaller eye is lower than the lower eyelid of the other eye, it proves that they have ptosis. Don't underestimate the harm of ptosis. If the eyelids droop for a long time, the eyes will be very fragile.

Long-term ptosis can easily lead to dry eyes or eye mask inflammation. More serious patients may suffer from symptoms such as blindness. If your condition is already very serious, you can go to the hospital for timely treatment. If you only have mild ptosis, you can pay attention to correcting bad living habits in your daily life, such as rubbing the skin around your eyes.

In normal times, you should try to use contact lenses as little as possible, because the long process of removing contact lenses can easily tear the skin around the eyes, causing the eyes to loosen. When sleeping, try to lie flat on your back, because long-term use of one side when sleeping will put pressure on the muscles on one side, which will cause one side of the face to atrophy, resulting in one larger than the other face, affecting the appearance. Before going to bed, you can apply eye cream or eye mask to care for the skin around your eyes.
