Posted under Ptosis Surgery q&a

Will Alphagan drops help my ptosis if my surgeon says surgery will make it worse?

Jojo3
I have mild ptosis and my optometrist doesn't recommend me surgery b/c he says the chances of making it worse is higher than the chances of fixing it. So I was wondering if I can use Alphagan drops for my ptosis? And if not,why not?
