Hello Valerie,
There are a number of reasons that the lower lid could be sagging. It could be due to the shape of the prosthesis or it may be a physiological issue with the eye socket. You should first consult with your ocularist to see if reshaping the prosthesis can correct the issue. If this does not work you may require a surgical solution. For this you want to talk with an oculoplastics specialist. Without seeing you I can not give you a more specific answer however I hope this helps.
kind regards, Paul Geelen (Ocularist)

My name is Valerie Larsen and I’m 55 years old and have had my prosthetic eye since I was four years old. I’m trying to connect to other women who have had an artificial eye for a number of years. My lower lid is sagging and I’m curious if anyone has found a way to either fix this problem or improve it.
