Ptosis and laxity of the eyelids are caused by deficiency of blood and qi, leading to open skin pores (couli). Wind-pathogens invade the skin of the eyelids, causing the skin to become lax and droop, covering the eyeball. Hence, it is commonly referred to as "Sui" (a term for ptosis or similar condition).
Formulas:
Huangqi Wan (Cinnamon Twig Pill? No, Huangqi is Astragalus. *Correction*: Huangqi Wan - Astragalus Pill) (From *Shengji Zonglu*)

Qinpi Tang (Phellodendri Cortex Decoction? No, Qinpi is Bark of Phellodendron or Fraxinus. Here likely Fraxini Cortex or Phellodendri Cortex. Given context of heat/swelling, often Phellodendri or Fraxini. Standard WHO term for Qinpi is Cortex Fraxini or Cortex Phellodendri. In *Shenghui Fang*, Qinpi Tang usually uses Cortex Fraxini.
