About This Treatment

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.

Procedure Steps
1

Visual Field Testing

Automated perimetry with and without eyelid taping to document visual field obstruction from ptosis

Duration: 45 minutes
2

Eyelid Assessment

Measurement of margin reflex distance, levator function, and excess skin to plan surgical approach

Duration: 30 minutes
3

Surgical Correction

Levator advancement or resection for ptosis, skin excision for dermatochalasis, under local anesthesia

Duration: 1-2 hours
4

Post-operative Care

Cold compresses, antibiotic ointment, and suture removal with follow-up visual field confirmation

Duration: 2 weeks
Benefits
  • Restored superior visual field and peripheral vision

  • Improved reading ability and driving safety
  • Procedure performed under local anesthesia
Considerations
  • Temporary bruising and swelling around eyes
