BMC’s Yawkey building doors are now closed as an entrance as part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our campus and provide you with the best clinical care.

All patients and visitors on our main campus must enter our hospital via Shapiro, Menino, or Moakley buildings, where they will be greeted by team members at a new centralized check-in desk before continuing to the hospital. We are excited to welcome you and appreciate your patience as we improve our facilities.

Ptosis

Select your language:

Ptosis (or lazy eye) is a drooping of the upper or lower eyelid, which happens when the muscles of the eyelid are not strong enough to work the eyelid properly. Aging can cause these muscles to deteriorate, but some people are born with the condition. Other factors like trauma and inflammation can cause ptosis as can a condition like Horner syndrome, an interruption of the facial nerve that leads to the brain.
