A 43-year-old Asian woman says she has had a narrow eye opening all her life, and asks if she can make her entire pupil visible, or at least more visible. She says she was teased her whole life because of the size of her eyes. She tried to measure the opening, and estimates it to be only 5-7mm wide. The narrow opening has not affected her vision, as she only started wearing glasses for distance when she turned 40. New York Oculoplastic surgeon Amiya Prasad, MD reviews her photos in this video, and explains how she may have been born with a weak muscle that lifts the eyelids, hence her pupils be covered by her eyelids. Dr. Prasad details the specialized procedures needed for correction: 1:21 - Dr. Prasad’s background and experience, including his specialties in Asian eyelid surgery and ptosis correction surgery 1:45 - Why having her vision not affected by her eyelids is good, especially since eyelids covering the pupil brings a problem called amblyopia, which does affect vision development if not corrected before the age of 6 2:15 - The importance of differentiating between excess eyelid skin (dermatochalasis), and drooping of the eyelid margin relative to the pupil (ptosis) 2:42 - How this woman’s eyelid margin likely cleared the pupil when she was younger, but got lower as she got older, so she probably has congenital ptosis, or being born with a drooping eyelid 3:08 - How her eyelid muscle (levator muscle) likely developed in a limited way, and how Dr. Prasad would assess this problem in his practice 3:44 - How ptosis diagnosis leads to recommended corrective surgery, from approaches behind or in front of the eyelid, depending on the range of muscle function 4:14 - It is possible to raise the eyelid, but it is important to differentiate between excess skin, and a defective muscle 4:22 - How people have come to Dr. Prasad because their original surgeon removed excess skin of the eyelids, when their actual problem was in the eyelid muscle, leading to skin shortage in the eyes so they can’t close, and still have a drooping eyelid 4:49 - The importance of seeing a specialist who understands ptosis and Asian eyelid surgery 5:09 - How Dr. Prasad performs ptosis surgery with local anesthesia with LITE® sedation, enabling patients to open their eyes during surgery to measure and assess the level of the eyelids, and to predict success of the surgery with the effects of gravity 5:36 - How ptosis surgery done by Dr. Prasad has 95% success rate on the first surgery, but the precise nature of the surgery can sometimes to lead to over or under correction, which will then need a revision procedure CONNECT WITH US!
