  • Ptosis is a condition where one or both upper eyelids droop, potentially affecting your vision and facial symmetry. It can be present from birth (congenital) or develop later in life due to aging, muscle weakness, nerve damage, or previous eye surgeries.

  • If your drooping eyelid interferes with your vision, causes eye strain, or affects your appearance and self-confidence, it’s worth considering treatment. Dr. Rodgers will assess your eyelid function and recommend the best approach based on severity and underlying cause.

  • Ptosis surgery tightens or repositions the muscles that lift the eyelid. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, and recovery is relatively quick. The goal is to improve both the function and appearance of the eyelid while maintaining a natural look.
