What the procedure involves.
Functional blepharoplasty and ptosis repair surgery to correct drooping eyelids that obstruct vision. Chinese ophthalmic surgeons perform medical eyelid procedures addressing ptosis, dermatochalasis, and entropion/ectropion that impair visual function. Unlike cosmetic blepharoplasty, these procedures are medically indicated for measurable visual field restriction.
Step by step.
Visual Field Testing
Automated perimetry with and without eyelid taping to document visual field obstruction from ptosis
Eyelid Assessment
Measurement of margin reflex distance, levator function, and excess skin to plan surgical approach
Surgical Correction
Levator advancement or resection for ptosis, skin excision for dermatochalasis, under local anesthesia
Post-operative Care
Cold compresses, antibiotic ointment, and suture removal with follow-up visual field confirmation
- Restored superior visual field and peripheral vision
- Reduced eye fatigue and brow strain
- Improved reading ability and driving safety
- Procedure performed under local anesthesia
- Temporary bruising and swelling around eyes
- Asymmetry requiring revision in rare cases
- Dry eye symptoms during initial healing
- Overcorrection or undercorrection of lid position
