What is Ptosis?
Ptosis is a condition where the upper eyelid droops downward, sometimes covering part of the eye and affecting vision. It can be present from birth or develop later due to aging, muscle weakness, nerve issues, or injury. In severe cases, it can block vision and make a person look tired or older.
Why Should You Consider Treatment?
Ptosis correction is not just cosmetic — it is also functional.
