Eyelid Surgery Can Impact Vision

Patients who are considering getting eyelid surgery (belpharoplasty) should be aware of the fact that this surgery may impact their vision over the long term. This does not indicate that the procedure is dangerous or damaging to eyesight. It simply means that you may require a different type or strength of corrective vision after the surgery than what you required prior to the surgery.

A study of the issue showed that a small percentage (less than ten percent) of patients had altered vision after eyelid surgery. However, for some of these people, their vision was actually improved. The changes did not take place immediately after surgery but were reported typically within the first year after the procedure had been completed.

It is important for eyelid surgery patients to discuss this issue with their plastic surgeons before proceeding with plastic surgery. You should be aware of the potential for your vision to change - for better or worse - as a result of the reshaping of the eye. Ask your doctor what the potential consequences are of your specific surgery.

Question of the Day: Would you be less interested in getting eyelid surgery after finding out that it could impact your vision - even though the impact may be an improvement?
