Before and after surgery Correction of Ptosis

Complete eye health includes having healthy eyes but also healthy eyelids. Common eyelid problems include excess skin (Dermatochalasis), droopy eyelids (Ptosis), or eyelids that can turn inward (Entropion) or outward (Ectropion). These problems can cause eye discomfort, limit vision, and affect your appearance. These problems can usually be corrected with surgery. Photographs and peripheral vision testing are often required by insurance companies before certain procedures can be done. Your ophthalmologist will perform a complete eye exam, take measurements and make any recommendations. If the doctors recommendation is surgery, it will be an outpatient procedure performed with local anesthesia. The improvement in vision, comfort, and overall appearance can be very gratifying.
