ภาวะหนังตาหย่อนและหนังตาตก ผ่าตัดรักษาได้

<p><span style="color: #00826a;"><strong>Ptosis, drooping eyelid, or eyelid laxity</strong></span> is a type of eyelid disorder, classified in the same group as diseases of the tear ducts and eye sockets. There are many other eyelid conditions, such as entropion, ectropion, eyelid cancer, as well as injuries or trauma to the eyelid area. In many cases, surgery is necessary to restore normal function and for cosmetic reasons.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00826e;"><span style="color: #00826a;">Types of Ptosis and Treatment</span><strong><br />
</strong></span></h2>
<p>Ptosis can be simply divided into 2 types:</p>
<ol>
<li>Congenital ptosis</li>
<li>Acquired ptosis</li>
</ol>
<p>Treatment for both types of ptosis can be done through surgery.</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #00826e;"><strong>Congenital ptosis</strong></span></li>
</ul>
<p>The indications for corrective surgery differ from acquired ptosis because congenital ptosis in some cases may cause permanent vision loss due to amblyopia or cause abnormal head tilting or raising in children.</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #00826e;"><strong>Acquired ptosis</strong></span></li>
</ul>
<p>It usually results from weakening of the eyelid lifting muscle and age-related degeneration. Surgery in this case not only improves appearance but also has other benefits, such as correcting vision obstruction caused by drooping eyelids, preventing astigmatism caused by eyelid pressure on the cornea, and reducing forehead muscle overuse that leads to forehead wrinkles. Sometimes, severe ptosis can also cause heaviness or headaches in the forehead area.</p>
<p>Therefore, anyone who feels that <strong><span style="color: #00826e;">their eyelids are sagging</span></strong> or <strong><span style="color: #00826e;">drooping</span></strong> to the point of covering the pupil and causing abnormality should promptly consult a specialist ophthalmologist in ocular muscles or orbit to examine and diagnose the condition. Early treatment helps prevent progression and yields better results.</p>
