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!
