Have you noticed one or both of your upper eyelids starting to droop or feel heavier than usual? It might be more than a cosmetic concern. This condition, called ptosis, can affect your vision, eye comfort, and even your quality of life.

What is ptosis?

Ptosis is the medical term for drooping of the upper eyelid. It can:
- Affect one or both eyes
- Be present from birth or develop later in life
- Range from mild drooping to severe cases that cover part or all of the pupil and block vision

While ptosis is common with aging, it can also affect children and younger adults and may be linked to underlying eye, muscle, or neurological conditions.

Common causes include:
- Age-related muscle weakening
- Congenital (present at birth) eyelid muscle problems
- Nerve or muscle disorders (such as myasthenia gravis)
- Previous eye injury or surgery
- Certain medical conditions like diabetes or stroke

When to see an eye doctor
You should schedule a comprehensive eye exam if you notice:
- Drooping of one or both upper eyelids
- Reduced or blocked vision
- Eye fatigue, especially when reading or driving
- Tilting your head back or raising your eyebrows to see better
- In children, difficulty keeping the eyes open or misaligned eyes

How ptosis is treated

Treatment depends on the cause and severity and may include:
- Careful observation and monitoring
- Special eyeglasses that help support the eyelid
- Treating underlying medical or neurological conditions
- Ptosis surgery to tighten or repair the muscle that lifts the eyelid, often improving both vision and appearance

Early diagnosis is especially important for children, as untreated ptosis can interfere with normal visual development.

At New Vision Eye Center in Vero Beach, FL, our experienced eye doctors provide comprehensive evaluations to determine what’s causing your drooping eyelids and which treatment options are best for you. Patients consistently praise our thorough exams, modern technology, and compassionate care.

When the cornea is damaged by disease, injury, or infection, it can result in significant vision loss. A corneal transplant replaces the damaged tissue with healthy donor tissue to restore sight.

Conditions like keratoconus, Fuchs’ dystrophy, corneal scars, and swelling may require this procedure. Several transplant types exist, each tailored to the specific layer of the cornea affected.

Recovery takes time, but outcomes are often excellent with proper care.
