What is Eyelid Ptosis?

An abnormal drooping of the upper eyelid that can affect vision.

Eyelid ptosis can be congenital (present from birth) or acquired over time due to ageing, injury or neuromuscular diseases.

Depending on how severe the drooping is, ptosis can:
🔹 Affect facial appearance, giving a tired or aged look.
🔹 Reduce the field of vision, making normal vision difficult.
🔹 Cause eye strain, especially at the end of the day.

Surgical correction is the best option to restore eyelid function and improve the appearance of the eyes.

If you experience any of these symptoms, surgery may be the best solution:

✅ Droopy eyelids that interfere with vision.
✅ Needing to raise your eyebrows to see better.
✅ A tired or aged look.
✅ Asymmetry in the position of the eyelids.
✅ Eye strain at the end of the day.

If you notice these signs, a consultation with our specialists will help determine the best treatment for your case.
