| Found out through an eye surgeon that sleep apnea causes lateral eye lid sag over time. Thing is you won't likely notice because it occurs gradually. If you sleep on your right side, the right eye upper eye lid will lose tension laterally. Can also cause entropion where the upper eye lid and eye lashes will start scrubbing the cornea . You can end up with a cornea abrasion and if left uncared for it becomes a cornea ulcer which leaves a scar. The surgeon demonstrated this lateral sag as he has seen this over and over in patients. He's not in cahoots with any business selling CPAP machines or sleep studies. Just an eye surgeon.
