PTOSIS REPAIR SURGERY

Ptosis repair is a surgical procedure to correct droopy eyelids (ptosis), which can affect one or both eyes. The goal is to:

  1. Improve eyelid position: Lift the eyelid to a more normal position.
  2. Enhance vision: Reduce obstruction of the visual field.
  3. Improve appearance: Restore a more youthful and alert appearance.

The procedure can be performed on children or adults, depending on the cause and severity of the ptosis.

Some common techniques include:

  1. Levator resection: Tightening the levator muscle.
  2. Müllerectomy: Removing a portion of the Müller muscle.
  3. Frontalis sling: Using a sling to suspend the eyelid.

If you’re considering ptosis repair, consult with an oculoplastic surgeon or ophthalmologist to determine the best approach for your specific case.

PTOSIS

Ptosis

Ptosis is a medical condition characterized by drooping or falling of the upper eyelid. This can affect one or both eyes and may be present at birth (congenital) or develop later in life (acquired).

Types

  1. Congenital ptosis: Present at birth, often due to underdevelopment of the levator muscle.
  2. Acquired ptosis: Develops later in life, potentially caused by:
    1. Aging
    2. Injury or trauma
    3. Neurological conditions (e.g., myasthenia gravis, stroke)
    4. Muscle diseases

Symptoms

  1. Drooping eyelid: Visible sagging of the upper eyelid.
  2. Vision obstruction: In severe cases, the drooping lid may obstruct vision.
  3. Compensatory mechanisms: Individuals might tilt their head back or raise their eyebrows to see.

Treatment

  1. Surgery: Often recommended to repair or strengthen the levator muscle.
  2. Non-surgical options: In some cases, ptosis crutches or Botox injections might be used.

If you’re experiencing symptoms or concerns, consult an eye care professional or a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and guidance.

HORNER’S SYNDROME

Horner’s syndrome is a neurological disorder that occurs when the oculosympathetic nerve is damaged.

It can be caused by a tumour, stroke or damage to the middle ear..

When the sympathetic nerves that connects the brain stem to the eye is damaged a triad of ptosis ( Droopy lids), miosis (Constricted pupils) and anhidrosis ( lack of sweat) occurs.

Although this condition is similar to Bell’s palsy, it is different from Bell’s palsy.

Treatment basically involves treating the underlying cause.
