Ptosis Surgery May Help Ptosis is the medical term for drooping of the upper eyelid(s). This can occur at any age. There are many causes, although an age-related weakening of the eyelid muscle is the most common. Ptosis surgery from Rock Hill Eye Center may help resolve the problem. When the eyelid droops, it may cover the pupil and decrease the field of vision. Patients often report that they can see better if they raise their eyelids with their fingers. Other patients may raise their eyebrows in an effort to raise their drooping eyelids. This may make the eyelids feel tired and heavy, especially at the end of the day. In many cases, ptosis can be corrected with surgery by an oculofacial plastic surgeon. During the surgery, the slipped muscle is tightened. The goal of ptosis surgery is to raise the eyelid to allow a full field of vision and to achieve symmetry with the opposite upper eyelid. Many insurance providers cover this surgery, and your doctor at Rock Hill Eye Center will evaluate whether you are likely to qualify.
