How Do I Treat Drooping Eyelids?

Upper eyelid sagging (ptosis) refers to the insufficiency or loss of the levator muscle (oculomotor innervation) and Müller smooth muscle (cervical sympathetic innervation), so that the upper eyelid appears partially or completely sagging, and the lighter covers part Pupils, in severe cases, the pupils are completely covered, which not only hinders aesthetics and affects eyesight, but also congenital ones can cause severe amblyopia. In order to overcome visual impairment, patients often tighten the frontal muscles to raise the position of the upper eyelid margin. As a result, the frontal skin is wrinkled horizontally, the frontal lines are deepened, and the eyebrows are high and vertical. Those who hang down on both sides, because they need to look up, often form a special posture of raising their heads and wrinkles. The frontal skin is wrinkled horizontally, the frontal lines are deepened, and the eyebrows are tall and erect. Those who hang down on both sides, because they need to look up, often form a special posture of raising their heads and wrinkles.

Upper eyelid sagging refers to insufficiency or loss of the levator muscle (oculomotor innervation) and Müller smooth muscle (cervical sympathetic innervation), causing the upper eyelid to sag partially or completely. From the degree of droop can be divided into complete droop, incomplete droop and pseudo droop. The etiology is mainly divided into three categories: mechanical factors, myogenic factors and neurogenic factors.

The upper eyelid sagging can be unilateral or bilateral, and can be divided into two types: congenital and acquired. From the degree of sagging, it can be divided into complete sagging, incomplete sagging and pseudo sagging. The etiology is often diverse.

Congenital upper eyelid sagging is more common on both sides and is hereditary. It can be

Many acquired lesions can involve the upper eyelid muscle or the branch of the oculomotor nerve that innervates the upper eyelid muscle, leading to sagging of the upper eyelid, which can be roughly classified into three categories. One category is mechanical factors: mainly

1. If the upper eyelid is severe and affects the child's vision development, early surgery should be performed.

2. If it is moderate to mild droop that does not affect the child's vision development, check the child's vision and determine the timing of surgery at the age of 3-4 years.

3. Choose preschool surgery without affecting the child's visual development, so as not to affect the child's psychological development. ^[1]
