Ptosis | Medotilglobal Healthcare

Introduction

Ptosis is drooping of the upper eyelid that can impinge on vision and appearance. It may be due to aging, congenital defects, weakness of local muscles, or nerve damage. Ptosis eye surgery is designed to help restore normal eyelid function and vision, and an ophthalmology surgeon specializes in diagnosing and treating ptosis. In serious cases, ptosis eye surgery is needed to keep sight not blocked and have a more natural eyelid fasten. It is necessary to consult an experienced ophthalmology surgeon to decide the most suitable treatment process. If performed by a qualified ophthalmology surgeon, ptosis eye surgery will greatly contribute to both vision and facial aesthetics, and will be long-lasting.

Factors affecting Cost of treatment

Type of Ptosis: The complication of the condition affects how the treatment is applied and affects the overall cost of ptosis eye surgery.
What Type of Surgery Is Required: The type of surgery required is one where surgeons use different techniques e.g. levator resection or frontalis sling, and the pricing is different for each. Fortunately, an experienced ophthalmology surgeon will suggest the best option.
Where Are Eyelid Surgery Costs: Ptosis eye surgery is conducted in premium healthcare centers which charge much higher as compared to other hospitals.
Ophthalmology Surgeon: Fees will be higher for an experienced and better ophthalmology surgeon.
Additional tests before surgery are also a factor that can increase the cost of ptosis eye surgery.
Followed by follow-up visits, medications, and recovery treatments provided by an ophthalmology surgeon will also determine the expense.
The ptosis eye surgery may be covered by some insurance plans and if it does, it will help relieve the related out-of-pocket costs.

Treatment options

Milder cases may be treated with special glasses that have ptosis crutches, or eye exercises to strengthen the eyelid muscles which may be done by an ophthalmology surgeon.
Ptosis Eye Surgery: The most common ptosis surgery is levator resection surgery where the ophthalmology surgeon tightens up the levator muscle to lift the eyelid and improve vision and appearance.
In severe ptosis, ptosis eye surgery involves attaching the eyelid to the forehead muscle by using a sling made of silicone or tissue in an operation known as frontalis sling surgery, to allow it to lift with brow movements.
Müller’s Muscle Resection: An ophthalmology surgeon may perform this procedure to shorten Müller’s muscle and elevate the eyelid higher in cases of mild to moderate ptosis.
In select cases, Botox can be applied similarly to surgical ptosis eye surgery to correct temporary eyelid drooping.
Small gold or platinum weights may be implanted in the eyelid as eyelid weights for patients who can’t have surgery.
Post-Surgery Care and Follow Up Post-surgery care and follow-up are under the supervision of an experienced ophthalmology surgeon, cater medications and check how the patient's recovery process is going.
Some mild cases of ptosis may be treated by physiotherapy or special eyelid exercises but to no greater extent than the ptosis eye surgery.
