what are the different forms of treatment for ptosis?

Question

i got the response for my earlier question about eyelid muscle disorders, however, as mentioned in the answers, there is no such condition as diabetes, myasthenia gravis or recent episode of stroke etc. this condition is there from birth however, no one else in the family has this condition, not even distant relatives. However, the difference between the two eyes has reduced gradually, but is not completely gone and is still quite conspicuous. no other eye complications are seen. is that still ptosis or something else?

Answer 1

yes still ptosis , but as long as it's not impairing vision or making any cosmetic problems you don't need to get the surgery although it's simple

Answer 2

I had ptosis since birth. It was very noticeable and a optometrist recommended surgery when I was 9. My mom refused. I lived my entire life very self-conscious and 5 years ago I had 3 surgeries to correct it. 2 on one eye and 1 on the other. The thing that's important to remember is that it's not an exact science. The surgeon had to adjust one eyelid twice because my eyelid wasn't lifted enough. They same thing would have had to occur if one eyelid was lifted too much. I am very happy with the final results.

I'm from a very large family and no other family member has the condition.

Although I had ptosis in both eyes, it was the result of two different conditions.

Answer 3

It is obviously bothersome to you, see an Ophthalmic Plastic Surgeon, they will give you the risks and benefits.
If you need a cosmetic procedure they will help you make a decision about what is right for you.
