Slight Ptosis In Left Eye Posted: 03-19-04 10:12am
hello, I am a college student and I was
wondering if anyone had any advice for
things to help a slight ptosis in my left
eye. I can't even remember when I got
this ptosis...It really became apparent to
me in high school and throughout the first
few yrs of college though. Does anyone
have any suggestions or methods of helping
it...Besides getting more sleep, splashing
water on my face...Etc? It really bugs me
and I think it hurts my appearance, and
also it seems that I feel more tired
because of this slight ptosis in my left
eye. Thanks a lot!!!!!

My mother had this all her life &
honestly she was usually the only one
aware of it, it bothered her more than
anyone ever noticed it, but when she was
bothered by it, it sometimes seemed to
worsen, so my advice(apart from rest, is
try to relax, chill & forget it, maybe
it will forget you abit too!!

Hey dave,
damn, it's pretty crazy hearing what you
had to say, I think i'm in the exact same
position as you. Lately i've been thinkin
that my left eye sometimes doesn't open as
much as my right, and I looked it up on
the net and came up with ptosis. I sorta
noticed it in highschool but didn't really
care. I'm in first year college. I get
really tired during the day too, round
2pm-5pm, what's up with that? Oh and
purple333's got a point, my buds didn't
really notice until I asked them to check
my eye out, maybe we're worryin too much?

Thats what my mom always says...And I am
dating this really hot girl right now and
I never asked her about it...Nor does she
seem to notice @ all. I was thinking
about getting something done after school
like when I am 25...I am almost 21
now...But of course I don't have enough
money to get anything done now. It just
bothers me that I have it...And not many
other people do u know? And I can feel
the tiredness set in too. Oh well...Get
back to me man...I'd like to chat w/ u
more cuz u are in college too. Take
care.

Hey man,
sure sounds good, since we're on the same
page it seems.
I'm going to talk to my doc about it on
wednesday. I'm not really sure what's
gonna come out of this, but I just wanna
get some more info. The idea of surgery
is kind of a pain, i'd rather get it over
with if I need it before the next
semester, but i've also gotta work and
make some cash. It's a real bother.
Anyways i'll tell you what the doctor says
sometime!
Later!
