Healthy Lids for Healthy Eyes

Total eye health depends on the health of the eyelid, too. Eyelid position, excess eyelid skin, droopy eyelids, or eyelids that turn inward or outward are common problems that can affect appearance, cause discomfort, or limit vision. Eyelid surgery can correct such conditions.

Eyelid skin, the thinnest of the body, stretches easily. Consequently, as we age, we may develop excess eyelid skin. Stretched skin in the upper eyelid may limit peripheral vision and produce a feeling of heaviness and a tired appearance. In the lower eyelid, "bags" may form.
