Ptosis (eyelid)

My comment:

Die Brauenptosis wird im englischen auch nur als Ptosis bezeichnet. Die Herkunft des Wortes ist das griechische "Ptosis" -to fall-.

ptosis of the (right / left) eyelid

My comment:

Normally it's the eyelid, not the brow.
If you are sure, replace "eyelid" by "eyebrow".

Ptosis (drooping)of the upper/lower eyelid, "lazy eye"

My comment:

(From Greek Ptosis or πτῶσις, to "fall") is a (drooping) of the upper or lower eyelid. The drooping may be worse after being awake longer, when the individual's muscles are tired. This condition is sometimes called "lazy eye", but that term normally refers to amblyopia (double image seeing). If severe enough and left untreated, the drooping eyelid can cause other conditions, such as amblyopia or astigmatism. This is why it is especially important for this disorder to be treated in children at a young age, before it can interfere with vision development.
