Ptosis, or a droopy eyelid, can affect both children and adults. This condition can limit vision and affect how you look. It is very important that children with ptosis have regular eye exams with an ophthalmologist early in life. They are at risk for developing poor vision in the eye with the droopy lid.
Fortunately, children and adults with ptosis usually can have surgery to improve vision as well as cosmetic appearance. Prescription eye drops can also help treat some types of ptosis in adults. If you have any questions about your eyes or your vision, speak with your ophthalmologist. They are committed to protecting your sight.
