This happens to my mom too- and I don't know why, but every once in a while, one of my eyelids droops a little lower than the other. It happens to both my eyes, at different times- not just one eye. Wtf?
Answer:
This isn't really a "lazy eye"... that would be when you have one eye that doesn't point in the direction of whatever you want to look at. What you have is called a ptosis, an eyelid droop, and if your mom has it too, it's probably just due to uneven innervation by the occularmotor nerve to your eyelids, causing them to recieve different amounts of signals from your brain, especially if you're tired.PS: you do not need to go see an Opthamologist. This happens to lots of people, and is not usually an indication of a disease or eye muscle problem.
Go see an opthalmologist, not just an optometrist. You need a doctor (MD type) who can figure out what is going on.
could be an inflammation of nerves controlling facial muscles. do a search on bell's palsy. i had it for a few weeks when i was under a lot of stress and one whole side of my face was paralyzed. i had to wear an eye patch when i slept because of the drooping eyelid thing.
Also, there is a possibility for multiple sclerosis(my sister was diagnosed 3 years ago), which can often be misdiagnosed without a c-scan. She had numbness on one side of her body, mostly leg and arm. But symptoms vary greatly person to person.
Another possibility is lime disease. don't get nervous about it until you have tests done. go to the doctor and tell him/her your symptoms and request a c-scan. hope its something minor.
