How common is ptosis from contact lenses?

Ptosis from prolonged contact use can occur. Ptosis can also occur if you've never worn contacts. The point is that everyone who wears contacts does not end up with ptosis and those who have never worn contacts are not guaranteed to never have ptosis. If it is a concern for you I encourage you to speak to your optometrist for more information.

Wearing contact lenses can cause ptosis. And this is true for both hard and soft contacts. The pulling of the upper eyelid to place and remove the contact lenses might be the cause of this issue.

HI Elle2127, thanks for the question. I haven't heard of that study. I think you can be assured even if you're a contact lense wearer.
