There are several causes of eyelid drooping. The actual medical name for it is Ptosis. There are no known common cause for Ptosis. It is most common in the elderly, however one can be born with the condition. If one experiences Ptosis, its best to see a doctor to rule out a tumor in the brain or lung.
