Dr Prasad, New York, New York (10065) Lady With Eyelid Ptosis Blocking Her Vision Before Ptosis Correction Surgery Pic
Eyelid ptosis can affect vision by making the eye opening too small to see clearly. Standard eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) may remove eyelid skin without adequately lifting the upper eyelids for clear vision, and may remove too much skin for eyelids to close. By shortening the levator muscle, which raises the eyelids, successful ptosis surgery opens up the eyes with a natural look, and most importantly restores clear vision by unblocking the pupil.
