Doctor stops one condition of the eyelids (6)
I believe the answer is:
ptosis
'condition of the eyelids' is the definition.
'ptosis' can be an answer for 'condition' (ptosis is a kind of condition). I'm not certain of the 'of the eyelids' bit.
'doctor stops one' is the wordplay.
'doctor' indicates anagramming the letters.
'one' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'stops'+'i'='stopsi'
'stopsi' with letters rearranged gives 'PTOSIS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
