Eyelid Surgery

The eyelids are composed of the body's thinnest skin, and over time, they stretch, droop, sag and otherwise lose their youthful resiliency. Some are born with specific problems such as drooping upper eyelids that may actually affect the way they see or even cause permanent vision reduction. Others develop conditions over time, such as the tendency of the lower eyelid to turn outward or inward, causing excessive tearing, irritation, and sensitivity to light. All of these conditions can be corrected, and with today's technology, treatment is less invasive than ever and recovery time minimized. Here are a few of the most common treatments available at Graystone Eye.

Upper Eyelid Corrections

Technically termed "ptosis", drooping upper eyelid may be present at birth or develop over time. Not only does it affect our appearance, it can also affect how we see, sometimes limiting our field of vision. Surgery shortens the muscles that lift the eyelid, restoring it to a normal position and increasing the field of vision.

Removal of Excessive Skin Around The Eyes

Age is no respecter of persons and sometimes our family genes enhance those pesky signs that we are indeed getting older. That is certainly true with what most of us know as "bags" under our eyes or drooping of the upper lid skin. Removal of excess skin and fatty tissue in this sensitive area is known as blepharoplasty and can improve our appearance, giving us a more youthful, refreshed look.

Lower Eyelid And Eyelash Corrections

As we age, the stretching of the lower eyelid can cause our lid to sag outward (ectropion), or to turn inward (entropion). Both conditions can be irritating and if left untreated can lead to infection. Eyelashes can also become misdirected, or in some cases, a person may have an extra row of lashes. Surgery can correct each of these conditions.

Eyelid Cancer

Eyelids develop cancer just like any other part of the body. The most common type of eyelid cancer is Basal Cell Carcinoma. However, the periocular region receives a tremendous amount of sun exposure, increasing the risk for development of cancer, including melanoma.
