title: Drooping eyelids due to aging.
abstract: Aging is a normal sequence of life. When one's eyelids start to age many changes can occur, and these changes may affect one's life activities and appearance. Nurses can help the elderly to accept some of life's changes gracefully and at the same time make them aware that some visual changes are correctable.
