Ptosis
Ptosis - drooping of the upper eye lid.
As we age it is fairly common for the upper lid to droop, sometimes one eye droops more than the other. This can cause distress due to vision impairment and altered appearance. At Eye Doctors we offer a day stay procedure to adjust the height of the upper eyelid by reattaching the muscle that lifts the lid at the correct position. In most cases asymmetry between the eyes can also be improved and the signs of aging reduced.
