Examining ATI Wisdom Booklets: Booklet 3 – Medical Paralyzed Eyelids

Last updated on: August 29, 2016 at 5:30 pm by Suzanne Titkemeyer

This appears on the fourth page of information about ptosis or eyes. A good editor would have moved it to the first page of information since it would guide the students more clearly through the information.
This is a surprisingly poor diagram of ptosis. A Google Image search pulls up many more options. Looking at one eye alone makes ptosis more difficult to detect than looking at both eyes or comparing one eye with the eyes held as wide open as possible. (Opening the eyes wide makes the paralyzed lid even more prominent since it stays lowered.)
