###Human: What can be done to treat hooded eyelids? ###Assistant: Hello. There can be a number of causes which could give rise to an appearance of a hooded eyelid. The most common of which are: 1. Eyelid bags (for which you may be using lid taping), although a reaction to the tape is possible, it is a rare occurrence. 2. Dermatochalasis which is caused by eyelid skin sagging down, this is benign and needs surgery like blepharoplasty. 3. Blepharochalasis is a reactionary swelling and needs a detailed evaluation to get to the cause of the problem and treatment with eyedrops and tablets. 4. Epiblepharon which is an extra fold of skin since childhood. This also may need surgery. If you could attach a photo of your eyelids while closed and send me, I could probably be able to help you regarding the cause and treatment.
