Condition
Ptosis (Drooping Upper Eyelid)
A one-page care plan for patients with Ptosis (Drooping Upper Eyelid), covering Purpose, Prevention & Protection, Education & Expectations, Nutrition & Next Steps, Consistency, Indications and Lifestyle & Long-Term Success.
In this plan
Purpose, Prevention & Protection
- I know ptosis can be present at birth or develop from aging, injury, surgery, or muscle or nerve disease.
- I understand ptosis is different from extra loose eyelid skin, though both may occur together.
- I do not assume a new droopy lid is just aging; sudden changes need prompt assessment.
- If my child has ptosis, I arrange an eye exam because blocked or blurred vision can affect sight development.
