published online - August 26, 2007



The drooping eyelid may only slightly cover the pupil, or may entirely cover the pupil.  In some cases, ptosis can restrict or even block normal vision.  In selected cases, ptosis can be treated in one or two ways:

  1. Surgically  See the above before & after photos  
  2. Using Proprioceptive signals underneath the feet
