What happened to Forest Whitaker’s eye?
Forest Whitaker’s distinctive eye condition, ptosis, is a drooping of the upper eyelid. It’s caused by a weakened levator palpebrae superioris muscle, which is responsible for lifting the eyelid. Ptosis can be caused by a variety of factors, including birth defects, nerve damage, and aging. In Whitaker’s case, the condition is believed to be congenital, meaning he was born with it.
