26 male, one eyelid is a bit droopier than the other and always has been so I mentioned it to my ophthalmologist at my last appointment. He took out some tool and measured some things and said BOTH my eyelids are considered droopier than normal and suddenly started bringing up all kinds of musculoskeletal skeletal conditions etc (I have stretchy fingers he noticed which set him off) anyway he referred me to neurology. I was nervous but then neurology was baffled why I was even there. The neurologist said lots of people have clinical ptosis but it’s just their ‘default settings’ with no underlying issue or malfunction of anything. They still looked me over and we’re polite but ultimately said my eye doc had really overreacted.
My question is if this is true? Do some people just have ptosis right out of the gate? I do have very almond shaped eyes and I should note my grandfather was recommended to get tissue removed from his eyelids because it got to the point they drooped his down pretty bad as he got old, he never did and never had any issues. His son, my uncle DID have a procedure to remove some tissue there because his eyelids started to droop. My father was younger and is no longer with us on this earth, however in pictures he and I (and my grandfather) all have very almond shaped eyes with relaxed looking eyelids.
Is this just a generic trait for some people or is this usually tied to some level of malfunction?
