Ptosis surgery

Cosmetic Concern: 75-year old woman lost the use of her right eye as a child. She wears a glass shell over the right eye. For the past 50 years, her right upper eyelid has been droopy.

Diagnosis:  Non-seeing right eye. Right upper eyelid ptosis.

Treatment: Right upper eyelid ptosis surgery. Hand painted contact lens for the right eye.

Discussion: Once the right upper eyelid ptosis surgery was performed, the ocularist created a hand painted contact lens completing the rehabilitation.
