Ptosis may occur because the levator muscle's attachment to the lid is weakening with age.

Ptosis occurs due to weakness or damage to the muscles responsible for lifting the eyelid. This can be caused by conditions such as aging, neurological disorders, injury, or the effects of certain medications. Ptosis can lead to drooping of the eyelid, which may impair vision or cause cosmetic concerns.
