At SNU Eye Clinic, we understand that ptosis, commonly known as a drooping eyelid, can affect more than appearance alone. Depending on its severity, ptosis may interfere with vision, cause eye fatigue, and impact everyday activities such as reading, driving, and prolonged screen use.
Understanding Ptosis
Ptosis occurs when the upper eyelid falls lower than its normal position due to weakening of the eyelid muscles, age-related changes, congenital conditions, nerve disorders, trauma, or previous eye surgery. Because the causes vary from patient to patient, an accurate diagnosis is essential for developing an effective treatment plan.
Our Approach to Diagnosis
We believe that successful ptosis treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation. Our ophthalmology team carefully assesses eyelid position, muscle function, visual performance, eye movement, and overall ocular health to determine the underlying cause of the condition and identify the most appropriate treatment strategy.
