What Could Droopy, Puffy Eyes With Grit In Eyes Indicate?

Hello,

It is necessary consulting with an ophthalmologist for a physical exam. Other tests to consider would be: thyroid hormone levels, kidney and liver function tests and nerve conduction studies, in order to investigate for possible Myastenic syndrome. You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
