Falling eyelid
My daughter (age 20) has typical problem of falling eyelid. This has happend at least 4 times (at age 13, age 14, age 17 and at age 18) till now and each time one of the eyelid remains droopy or will open only 20%. Each time this will last for approximately 4 to 5 days and than it returns back to normal.
Our Eye specialist is unable to find any cause or solution for this. We have taken out CT scan of eye as well as brain. Nothing abnormal.

This condition is referred to clinically as
Ptosis (eyelid) and is more commonly called "lazy eye".
There are a number of causes for this condition ranging from direct trauma to disease processes. Click on the Wikipedia link above to read more.
I would suggest you consult a good neurologist about this condition at the time that it is most prevalent.
