Ptosis Surgery
What is Ptosis Surgery?
Ptosis surgery is a procedure aimed at correcting drooping eyelids, known as ptosis, which can affect one or both eyes. This condition can impair vision and impact aesthetic appearance.
Causes of Ptosis:
- Congenital: Present at birth due to underdeveloped eyelid muscles.
- Age-related: Natural weakening of the muscles over time.
- Neurological Conditions: Conditions affecting nerve function, such as Horner’s syndrome.
- Injury: Trauma affecting the eyelid’s structure.
- Systemic Diseases: Conditions like myasthenia gravis can lead to muscle weakness.
Why Ptosis Surgery is Done:
Ptosis surgery is performed to:
- Improve vision by lifting the eyelid away from the pupil.
- Enhance cosmetic appearance and facial symmetry.
- Boost self-confidence, especially in cases where ptosis is pronounced.
Treatment for Ptosis:
- Non-surgical: Mild cases may be managed with eyelid crutches or ptosis supports.
- Surgery: The procedure involves tightening or reattaching the eyelid muscles to elevate the drooping eyelid.
At Srijan Eye Hospital, we offer specialized ptosis surgery tailored to each patient’s needs, ensuring effective treatment and optimal results.
