Do you struggle with eyelids that sag or droop, making you look tired or even obstructing your vision? This condition, known as Ptosis, can affect both children and adults. At Eye Sight Centre, Varanasi, we provide specialized surgical solutions to correct drooping eyelids, led by one of the region's most experienced ophthalmologists, Dr. Richa Srivastava (MBBS, MS Ophthalmology).
Ptosis is the medical term for a drooping upper eyelid. It occurs when the muscles responsible for lifting the eyelid (the levator muscles) weaken due to age, injury, or congenital factors.
Vision Correction: Severe drooping can block your pupil, limiting your field of vision.
With over 20 years of clinical excellence, Dr. Richa Srivastava is a trusted name in Varanasi’s eye care landscape. She specializes in complex surgeries, including:
Under her expert supervision, Eye Sight Centre has become a premier destination for patients across Varanasi, Mughalsarai, and Eastern Uttar Pradesh seeking precision-driven surgical outcomes.
Ptosis correction is a delicate oculoplastic procedure. The goal is to tighten the levator muscle to lift the eyelid to its natural, functional position.
1 Detailed Consultation
Medical Evaluation
Dr. Srivastava performs a thorough examination to determine the cause of the ptosis (myogenic, neurogenic, or aponeurotic) and measures the degree of muscle function.
2 Surgical Planning
Customized Approach
The surgery is tailored based on whether it is a "Levator Resection" (tightening the muscle) or a "Sling Operation" (using forehead muscles to lift the lid).
3 The Procedure
Day-Care Surgery
Performed under local or general anesthesia (depending on the patient's age). The incision is typically hidden within the natural eyelid crease to ensure minimal scarring.
4 Post-Operative Care
Recovery Support
Patients usually go home the same day. Full recovery and the final aesthetic result are typically visible within 2–4 weeks as swelling subsides.
