I have a high prescription that runs a risk of retinal detachment eventually. Have you performed an Upper Blepharoplasty on patients with a high prescription (myopic)? Are there any safe guards for this type of patient?

Answer: The most important risk here is dry eye. Myopic eyes are big eyes. You need a thoughtful upper blepharoplasty that enhances your appearance but also conserves tissue to help camouflage the big eye. Between the need to protect the eye from dryness and not skeletonize the contour of the eye, upper blepharoplasty on large eyes, should be approached conservatively.

Answer: Safety of upper blepharoplasty There is no increased risk associated with blepharoplasty in a high myope. All blepharoplasty should be performed with special care taken to ensure the health of the eyes during and after surgery. An oculoplastic surgeon is especially qualified to address your concerns about eyelid surgery.
