Surgery to open your eyes

John M. Hilinski, MD answers: What surgery is available to enlarge the eyes?

My eyes don't open very far. Very little of the whites of my eyes can be seen. Can this be corrected?

I am not talking about a Blepharoplasty, although I may get that, also, if this other procedure can be done.

You may be a candidate to undergo upper eyelid surgery in the form of ptosis repair. In some cases this is done in conjunction with blepharoplasty. In concept, this surgery helps to elevate the upper eyelid margin (in essence shortening the upper eyelid) to a level that provides improved vision while creating a more 'open' eye.
