Is this Ptosis? Can surgery help? (photos)

Asked By:Hunnybunny79 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I'm a 42 year old female, and for at least 10 years had mild drooping of the left eye. Its become much worse and now my right brow is drooping. My vision is blurry, but the optometrist said my eyes are healthy. My eyes feel heavy ALL the time. I feel like I struggle to keep them open. Its just uncomfortable. My aunt needed surgery because her vision was being impacted,so I guess this is genetic. I'm not sure if insurance would think it's surgery worthy.
