Frequently Asked Questions
Is a droopy eyelid just cosmetic?
Not always. Significant ptosis can block vision, cause amblyopia in children, and may indicate a neurological problem like Horner syndrome or third nerve palsy.
What does it mean if my eyelid turns inward?
Entropion causes the eyelid to roll inward, making the eyelashes scrape the cornea. This causes pain, tearing, and can damage the corneal surface.
Should I be concerned about an eyelid growth?
Most eyelid growths are benign (chalazia, papillomas, sebaceous cysts), but any new, growing, or ulcerated eyelid lesion should be evaluated to rule out eyelid cancer.
Does insurance cover Eyelid Abnormalities treatment?
Most vision and medical insurance plans cover diagnostic exams and medically necessary treatments. We accept most major insurance plans and can help verify your coverage before treatment.
