Eyelid drooping is excess sagging of the upper eyelid. The edge of the upper eyelid may be lower than it should be (ptosis) or there may be excess baggy skin in the upper eyelid (dermatochalasis). Eyelid drooping is often a combination of both conditions. The problem is also called ptosis.
In myogenic ptosis, the levator muscle is weakened due to a systemic disorder that causes muscle weakness. These conditions may include chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia and types of muscular dystrophy. With mechanical ptosis, the eyelid is weighed down by excessive skin or a mass.
Aponeurotic Ptosis is the most common type of acquired ptosis and the most common cause of ptosis overall. It is also known as senile or involutional ptosis, because it occurs most often in the elderly as an involutional disorder, meaning related to aging.
Brow ptosis repair (CPT code 67900) and upper eyelid blepharoptosis repair (CPT codes 67901-67909) is considered reconstructive and medically necessary under certain circumstances.
Lagophthalmos describes the incomplete or abnormal closure of the eyelids. A full eyelid closure with a normal blink reflex is necessary for the maintenance of a stable tear film and healthy ocular surface.
Levator syndrome is sporadic pain in the rectum caused by spasm of a muscle near the anus (the levator ani muscle). The cause of the spasm of the muscle near the anus is generally not known. Pain may be brief or may last for several hours.

Aponeurotic Ptosis [a-pə-nu-ˈrä-tik ˈtō-səs] is recognized by the following codes as per the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) nomenclature:
Patients with aponeurotic ptosis may present with a spectrum of symptoms ranging from visually asymptomatic cosmetic eyelid asymmetry to visually significant obstruction. While the superior visual field is most commonly obstructed, central vision can also be obstructed.
The mainstay of ptosis management relies on surgical correction, however the patient’s ocular, medical, and surgical history will determine if surgical repair is appropriate. The most important factor in surgical decision making is the levator muscle function.
