What is Ptosis & Why Treatment is Important?
Ptosis or droopy eyelid treatment refers to the dropping eyelid that covers the eyeball due to muscle weakness, aging, nerve conditions, or trauma. The severity of ptosis eye condition may obstruct vision, create eye strain, headaches, and alter the appearance of the face.
Immediate ptosis treatment will help in improving vision, eye function, eye comfort, and appearance without causing any long-term vision issues. Early ptosis correction surgery can help restore normal eyelid position and improve overall eye health.

If you experience any symptoms such as drooping eyelids, blurry vision, or inability to keep eyes wide open, contact an eye specialist immediately for proper droopy eyelid treatment.
Treatment Options at ASG
Non-Surgical Ptosis Correction
The treatment of moderate ptosis can be carried out using medications, special eye exercises, and eye support glasses that help improve the position of eyelids. It improves eye functions and reduces eye strain.
Non-surgical treatment is usually offered in case of mild forms of ptosis and also when surgery is not advisable. Regular eye exams will be conducted to manage the disease effectively and monitor ptosis eye treatment progress.
Laser-Assisted Ptosis Correction
A modern approach to laser eye treatment for ptosis can also be applied depending on the type of problem and the needs of each patient.
Lasers provide greater precision and faster healing compared to conventional surgeries. They are also less prone to bleeding and improve recovery after laser-assisted ptosis surgery.
Ptosis Surgery
Ptosis surgery is a good way to correct severe forms of ptosis. Surgery helps tighten up or repair eyelids and improve their functions.
Modern ptosis correction surgery is relatively easy, minimally invasive, and involves few risks when performed by experienced ophthalmologists.
Frontalis Sling Surgery
The frontalis sling surgery is preferred in severe cases of ptosis where the eyelid muscles are extremely weak. In this type of surgery, the eyelid is attached to the forehead muscle to aid in lifting the eyelid.
It is most common in infants and adults who have congenital ptosis and severe droopy eyelid condition.
