Can droppy eyelids cause contacts (rgp) problems-fluctuating vision?
There is a surgery called a ptosis repair and a blepharoplasty that can assist in alleviating the weight of the eyelids on your eyes. Normally the ophthalmologist or an occuloplastic surgeon would do VISUAL FIELD testing with your eyes normally then tape your eyelids to determine if you would benefit from the surgery. If you can prove with a visual field test that the droopiness of your eyelids cuts off your field of vision (peripheral) then your insurance might pay for it. The surgeon just has to document that it is medically necessary prior to the procedure. It would make sense that your droopy lids would push/weigh your contacts down and cause some decreased vision. The surgeries that I mentioned above are pretty routine and shouldn’t be a problem if you get an EXPERIENCED surgeon. An occuloplastic specialist probably does 10-15 a week at the least. I hope this is the information you were looking for.
