Eye Opening Way to Treat Your Droopy Eye

The Diagnosis: Ptosis

Acquired Blepharoptosis, also known as Ptosis, is the diagnosis for low-lying droopy appearance or falling upper eyelids. Only 15% of the millions of men and women with this condition are diagnosed, and very few diagnosed are being treated.

Is there a way to PREVENT Ptosis?

With this condition based on genetics, possible eye trauma, surgery complications or damage to muscles, prevention is unlikely.

Affects adults of all ages
Cataract surgery patients

Vision impairment or decrease in visibility
Excessive eye rubbing
Cosmetic appearance of a droopy eye
Strained reading, driving and computer use
