Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have developed unilateral ptosis. Is there any cream or any non-surgical way to cure it? My eyes were fine before a year and now, my right eyelid started to droop and it is getting worse day by day.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through the attached image (attachment removed to protect patient identity). As you have send images of your both eyes, there is ptosis more in your right eyes when compared to your left eyes. As it started before a year, it can be aponeurotic ptosis. We need to take exact measurements of ptosis and so it helps to compare both eyes. As your eyelid is getting drooped with worsening symptoms, then the only way to treat them is by doing surgery. There is no other medical treatment for any kind of ptosis.
