Is eyelid surgery covered by OHIP if its for medical purposes? What about epicanthoplasty?

Dear Phoebezxoxo,

In general, a patient needs to have significant visual
impairment before a managed healthcare system will pay for eyelid surgery. It might be wise to seek the advice of a
certified oculoplastic surgeon or a plastic surgeon with Asian eyelid operating
experience to determine if the healthcare system or managed care system will
cover the cost of surgery.

I hope this information has been of some assistance and best
of luck.
