Ptosis FAQs
When should I talk to my doctor about ptosis?
If you experience droopy eyelids affecting one or both eyes, schedule an appointment with an optometrist or ophthalmologist. Your eye doctor can help you find out what is causing your condition and whether any additional testing is needed.
Who is the best doctor to repair ptosis?
Ptosis should always be repaired by an oculoplastic surgeon trained in this procedure. The eyelid anatomy is complex. Ptosis surgery requires years of training and expertise to perfect. It is important that your surgeon has many years of experience performing surgical ptosis repair.
Is ptosis serious?
In some situations, ptosis can have a serious underlying cause. But ptosis can also be harmless, mild and may even go away on its own. If you think you have ptosis, it’s important to rule out anything serious with the help of an eye doctor.
In some cases, ptosis can be a sign that someone is having a stroke. If you or someone you know is experiencing any of the signs or symptoms of stroke, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
Can ptosis occur at any age?
Yes. Since ptosis can be a symptom of an underlying disease, it can occur at any age.
Can droopy eyelids go away on their own?
Yes, some cases of ptosis can go away on their own. They can also return without warning. This cycle of coming and going can sometimes repeat indefinitely.
However, many forms of ptosis will not go away on their own. In these cases, medical treatment of the underlying condition or ptosis itself will be necessary.
