What
is it?
Also known
as ptosis, droopy eyelids are caused by a weak levator muscle.
The levator muscle, (think of elevator) is responsible for the raising
of the eyelid. Ptosis can result in lazy
eye and a loss of peripheral vision. It is inherited
and still many people do not even realize they have it.
What
causes it?
Even though
it is an inherited disorder, it does not occur until later in life.
The muscle gradually loses its strength and they eyelid begins to
"droop".
Symptoms
1.
loss
of peripheral vision
2.
running
into things
Treatment
An eyelift
is a type of surgery that can dramatically improve droopy
eyelids. For those who are into their looks, there is also a cosmetic
benefit to the surgery as well. The surgery is fairly simple,
quick and trouble-free. At most, small bruising may occur,
but, all in all, the surgery can be a huge benefit for anyone affected.
