Nonsurgical management of blepharoptosis.
Ptosis of one or both eyelids is a problem which affects a small, but nonetheless significant, portion of the population. Ptosis can be managed in a variety of ways, all of which can usually bring about a resolution of the problem to varying degrees of satisfaction. Two patients who were helped significantly through the use of two non-invasive techniques are presented here. Both patients, somewhat handicapped by the ptosis, were able to return to a more normal daily routine as a result of the therapy employed. The etiology of blepharoptosis and its workup are briefly reviewed.
