What causes eye lid to close involuntarily?
Answered by
It is probably ptosis and requires evaluation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic
It seems from the history that you are having problem of left eye getting smaller and wants to close involuntarily. I guess this probably means drooping of the upper eyelid resulting in ptosis and your physician wants to rule out sympathetic parlaysis secondary to cancer in thorax.
This can be a possibility and this can be ruled out by CT of thorax.
If this is absent other cause like third cranial nerve problems, diseases affecting the muscles of the eyelid or aponeurosis of the eye lid needs to be considered.
If possible do send a photo of the affected eye so that I can confirm the diagnosis and suggest you proper investigations.
Hence I would like to say this is a problem and requires evaluation to find out the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.
Hope the information is helpful to you.
Thank you
with regards

MD Hi Experts, I have swelling in my Left upper ID which is due to non malignent lump which is developed in the eyelid. The allopathic doctors diagnosed it as Blepharochalasis with some exceptions like i don t feel itching, redness etc in my eyelid but its just the heaviness i feel in my eye and its half opened. I got it operated 2 years back approximately but again the lump has developed in my eye and i don t want to go with the surgicle process because that also is workaround and repetitive task. In allopathy, doctor says, there is no as such medicine for this. I got treated from many of the Homeopathy doctors but no outcome at all. Please assist here. Also if you want any details like Biopsy report of the lump etc, i can forward the same to you and just for your reference, all my tests were normal like blood sugar, thyroid and many more.
