Note: Ptosis is not a disease, but a symptom of another condition that must be treated.
Depending upon the severity of the condition, drooping eyelids may or may not be noticeable. Upper eyelid drooping can sometimes affect your vision if the drooping is severe, and should be brought to the attention of your ophthalmologist.
Ptosis can be caused by a number of factors that affect the muscles, nerves, or skin of the eyelids. Some of these causes include
In rare cases, tumors of the brain or eye also cause ptosis or drooping eyelids.
The foremost symptom is drooping or one or both eyelids, especially, the upper eyelid. Frequent eyebrow raising and head tilting can indicate that ptosis is interfering with normal eyesight.
Regular eye check-ups and examinations are the best way to keep ptosis and other eye problems at bay. Blood tests used to detect diabetes and autoimmune conditions can also help diagnose ptosis. Depending on the severity of ptosis, the doctor may even perform X-rays to see if structural abnormalities around the eye(s) are causing any problem.
The treatment of ptosis varies as per its cause. If ptosis is caused due to another condition or disease such as, diabetes, myasthenia gravis, spinal cord injuries, tumors, nerve damage, or cancer, treatments concerning these are undertaken. In cases of congenital ptosis and ptosis occurring as a part of the normal aging process (aponeurotic ptosis), surgery may be required.

It's been a month since the LASIK surgery and i feel quite relieved not having to bother with contact lenses, glasses and not being able to see. Now, I feel good coz I can see clearly with no hassles, and relieved from glasses after 10 years.

With the growing age and multiple times facing the problems of blurred vision, the need of doing an eye check up did arouse. I visited Ojas Eye hospital for the tests and soon I was diagnosed with the eye disease called Cataract. My mind was baffled with questions. Friendly approach of Dr.Dedhia, in Pre and post operations, was truly supporting. The advanced eye correction equipment did ensure the rest. My cataract operation is successful and at present I am blessed with clear vision.

She was suffering from a squint but the highly trained and welcoming team of the hospital made this tough times a comfortable one. The medical process was explained in depth which gave us a green signal with the sense of security and decided to go ahead with the surgery. I once again thank the entire team at Ojas for gifting my daughter the gift of a better sight.
