I'm a little baffled by the ping pong ball..how do you keep the aro from eating it? LOL...i mean i know they probably could! And they seem to like to eat everything...i know my 7/8" one eats just about everything i put in the tank, even go and steal it from the cichlids...so i would be a little worried about droppin one in....
well... if there is a lot of reason due to droop eyes...
1: their diet... fat food that provide extra fats around the eyes.
2: too hungry... aro tend to look down more for food.
3: height of ur tank... depend if u having two or more tier tanks
4. illness... poor water condition
5. movement... there is too much movement in their surrounding.
anyway the above is just my own conclusion..

The main cause is enviromental. Think of it this way wild silvers do not develope it in the wild, but when introduced into an aquarium 95% of the time they develope drop eye, this is an enviromental problem combined with diet. Just b/c silvers are more likely to develope this disorder dose not automaticaly mean it is genetics.

May be also put a blinking light ( bicycle light ) together with the ping pong ball.
