I Have a Drooping Eyelid Since I Made a Cataract Operation. How Can I Retain It?

Drooping eyelids may be repaired surgically with a ptosis operation by a qualified ophthalmologist.  Some post-cataract eyelid drooping is temporary, however, so wait at least a few months before considering surgery.

Sometimes there is can be an association with certain types of drops used after surgery, the lid speculum used during surgery, and un-diagnosed mild post op inflammation. However, most often, there is no association and its just another common eye condition. Fortunately, both cataract and ptosis are easy to fix. 

Droopy eyelids are on as we age, just as cataracts are. Fortunately both can be successfully treated. See your ophthalmologist for details. Eyelid surgery can often be treated in the office and can even be combined with cosmetic procedures for a younger look!

That
is a great question.  In fact, it is very common in my experience for
someone who undergoes cataract surgery, to be diagnosed as having ptosis, or a
droopy eyelid that is also impacting their vision. We all expect that at some
point we may get cataracts, but fewer people realize that droopy upper eyelids
are a true vision concern and one that we can often address often through
insurance authorizations.  As a surgeon, it is very common for me to have
patients who undergo both surgeries in their quest for the very best quality of
vision and quality of life.
