Ptosis revision and contact lenses

May 11, 2023
Asked By:Bobavaspaniel in Fargo, North Dakota

I wear soft contact lenses and have had two ptosis repairs on my left eyelid, about to be seen for a consult for a third revision. The two previous ptosis repairs were in 2016 (which failed) and then she tried it on a different muscle in 2017. It worked but my left lid has started falling again. Is this something that is just going to keep occurring because of contact use? Is it pointless to have it done if it will maybe just recur again? I don’t pry my eye open to remove the contacts.
