Creating awareness for Olivopontocerebellar atrophy and other ataxias!
Symptom - Ptosis
Drooping of the eyelids due to weakness of the muscles responsible for keeping the lids open.
It is commonly called droopy eyelids.
TREATMENT: If the condition does not interfere with visual functioning and does not look cosmetically deforming, it is best left untreated. Surgical correction is possible when vision is threatened.
IMPLICATIONS: Following ptosis surgery, occasionally the eye will not fully close at night. To prevent the eye from drying, ophthalmic ointment or drops may be prescribed.
