Treatments and drugs
By Mayo Clinic staffThere's no specific treatment for Horner syndrome. Treatment depends on the cause. Often, Horner syndrome disappears when an underlying medical condition is effectively treated.
If you're having difficulty seeing out of the affected eye, your doctor may recommend that you be monitored by an eye doctor (ophthalmologist).
