Hooded eyes occur when excess skin folds over the eyelid, often obscuring the natural crease and making the eyes appear smaller or more closed. This condition is typically genetic, passed down through families, and can be present from birth. As people age, the skin loses elasticity and muscle tone, which can contribute to the development of hooded eyelids. In some cases, hooded eyes may also result from medical conditions or surgeries that affect the skin around the eyes. While it’s a natural feature for many, it can sometimes impact vision or be a cosmetic concern for some individuals.
