Can i get ptosis repair surgery and Lasik at the same time?

Question

I have heard it causes dry eyes. Then which one should i go for first? I am thinking of getting ptosis repair and then go for lasik?

Ajaya Kashyap, MD · Answer

Thank you for your query. I would not advise any eyelid surgery along with LASIK. A good idea would be to get your ptosis surgery first and then wait till your eye closes completely at rest, as there may be a slight over correction of ptosis initially, which resolves in several weeks. Please discuss this with your Ophthalmologist and  Plastic surgeon. All the best!

The surgery order doesn't really matter as long as you put some distance between two surgeries.If ptosis repair is done too much you cannot close your eyes fully and may cause dryness.Try to find the right plastic surgeon who won't over do ptosis correction.
