Dear XXXXXXX,
Thanks for writing in.
Your father needs to have a detailed neurological examination to rule out involvement of any other muscle in the paralysis. This drooping of the eye lid can be an isolated paralysis or can be a part of a wider deficit.
He also needs a blood sugar level to rule out any complication of diabetes.
A CT scan (computerised tomography scan) is also recommended to rule out any other neurological deficit.
Basically, he needs the care of a ophthalmologist, neurologist and an endocrinologist to solve this issue.
In the meanwhile, he can continue with B complex vitamins as a supplement. He can take Tablet Becosules 1 tablet once a day 1 hour before breakfast. This care would be available at any multispecialty hospital in Hyderabad.
I hope he gets well soon. I hope I have addressed your concerns. I would be available for follow ups.
Regards

Dear,

LVP is a very good hospital for eye problems; but your father's eye problem is not primarily an eye problem and the reason lies elsewhere. This reason is to be pointed out to start proper treatment.

This is a nerve paralysis, which has involved the eye. The investigations and examination is to be aimed at finding out the cause.

I feel, you have to contact primarily a neurologist to investigate your father. The reasons can be either diabetes or any intracranial pathology - that is why a Computed Tomography (CT) scan or a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is imperative along with a thorough neurological examination.

Ptosis due to diabetes is self limiting, but if it was due to any other reason any time wasted is uncalled for. Find out a proper neurologist near you otherwise do get back to me for neurologist.

Hope it is clear to you. Let me know if you have any more concerns.

Wish you speedy recovery.

Regards
