Is an Opthamologist Qualified to Perform the Upper Eyelid Surgery?

Carol Murphy
I have had the vision test indicating that my vision is greatly impaired by drooping, sagging eyelids. The opthamologist who did the test assured me that he had performed many of the surgeries to correct (remove) the sagging eyelids. Is this wise or should I insist on seeing a plastic surgeon?
