The eyelid(s) may appear to droop. Droopy eyelids can give the face a false appearance of being fatigued, uninterested or even sinister.

Drooping eyelids [3] Downward slanting palpebral fissures (separation between upper and lower eyelids) [3] Nearsightedness [4] Epicanthal folds (skin folds of the upper eyelid covering the inner corner of the eye) [6] Blepharophimosis (bilateral ptosis with reduced size of eyelid) [6] Optic atrophy [6] Refractory errors [6]
Crutches are used to keep an eyelid from drooping due to ptosis. Individuals with ptosis who are not candidates for reparable surgery or are looking for an alternative treatment, may consider ptosis crutches. A ptosis crutch is bar that is placed along the inside of an eyewire frame that supports the drooping eyelid. [2]
Prosopometamorphopsia (PMO), [1] also known as demon face syndrome, [2] is a neurological disorder characterized by altered perceptions of faces. In the perception of a person with the disorder, facial features are distorted in a variety of ways including drooping, swelling, discoloration, and shifts of position.
This may be accompanied by epicanthal folds (extra fold of skin at the inner corner of the eye), ptosis (drooping of the eyelids), proptosis (bulging eyes), strabismus (inward or outward turning of the eyes), nystagmus (jerking movement of the eyes) and refractive visual errors. The nose may be small, wide, and upturned.
