How To Treat Droopy Eye?

Recently I noticed that one of my eyelids, the right one, which is my weaker eye, becomes droopy during the day. Is there any particular product, or something in particular that I can do to treat this? I work on computers daily, and have occasional sinus trouble? I know this is also part of aging, (sigh, haha) even though I like to think I m aging gracefully, I d like some direction on how to treat this. Please and thank you.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having problem of droopy eye on right side.
This is called as ptosis and requires evaluation to find out the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.
The common causes for acquired ptosis are weakness of the muscles of the eyelids, diseases of the nerves like nerve palsies and diseases of the muscles like myasthenia...
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
