Treatment for Drooping Eyelids


The treatment for eyelid drooping based on the specific cause. If the condition is the result of the age or something you were born with, you won’t receive any treatment. Your doctor will explain that nothing needs to be performed because the condition is not generally harmful to your health. Even though, you can opt for the plastic surgery if you want to reduce the drooping of eyelids.
If your eyelid blocks the vision, you need a medical treatment. Your doctor will recommend for surgery. Glasses which can hold the eyelid up are another possible option. This treatment is usually most effective when the eyelid drooping is occurs only temporary by that you don’t have to wear glasses all the time. Glasses may also recommend by the doctor if you aren’t a suitable candidate for the surgery.
Your doctor may recommend for ptosis surgery. During this surgery, the levator muscle will be tightened. This will lift the eyelid up into a desired position. Another alternative is a “sling” surgery, in which the forehead muscles are been used to elevate the eyelids.
For children who undergone ptosis, doctors rarely recommend for the surgery to prevent the onset of the amblyopia or lazy eye. If your doctor finds that the eyelid drooping is caused by an underlying condition, then you will be treated for that. This will typically stop the eyelids from the sagging.
