My Eyelids Are Closing Because of Droopy Upper Lids and I Was Wondering if Medicare Will Pay Surgery?

   Droopy upper eyelid correction surgery may be covered by insurance provided that documentation of impairment of visual fields can be obtained.  Find the plastic surgeon with best credentials who performs these surgeries every day.

There are two conditions that may possibly be covered:

1. Eyelid ptosis [droopy upper eyelid]

2. Excess upper eyelid skin [dermatochalasis] that hangs over lashes into line of sight.

 

You would need photos and visual fields done by an Ophthalmologists to confirm these findings.

Your best bet would be to see an Oculoplastics surgeon that does this kind of evaluation and surgery day in and day out.
