How to treat eyelid ptosis

Generally speaking, ptosis can be divided into congenital and acquired categories according to its etiology. Congenital ptosis should be treated mainly by surgery, and if ptosis seriously obstructs pupils, it can cause amblyopia in patients, so surgery should be performed as soon as possible. The choice of surgical method is that if the function of levator muscle of upper eyelid has not been completely lost, we should choose levator muscle shortening of upper eyelid. There are skin incision and conjunctival incision, but in recent years we advocate combined incision for levator muscle shortening to correct ptosis. If levator muscle strength does not meet the surgical requirements, frontalis muscle suspension or autologous fascia lata suspension can be selected. If acquired ptosis, we need to first carry out etiological treatment and medical treatment, and then consider surgery.
