Who Should Consider Ptosis Repair Surgery?
Ptosis repair may be appropriate for individuals who notice one or both upper eyelids appear lower than normal—sometimes covering the pupil or creating asymmetry between the eyes. Patients may report eye fatigue, brow strain, difficulty reading, or frequent squinting. In many cases, ptosis worsens with age but may also be congenital or the result of trauma, previous surgery, or neurologic conditions.
Ideal candidates are in good general health and may have been referred for evaluation after failed visual field testing or noted asymmetry. Dr. Mancini performs a comprehensive examination, including eyelid measurements, muscle function tests, and visual field assessments when needed, to determine the most appropriate surgical plan.
