Ptosis- Ayurvedic Treatment, Diet, Exercises, Research Papers, Yoga & Pranayama

Giriş

Drooping of eyelids, due to pathological reasons is called ptosis which happens because of trauma, age, or various medical disorders. This condition is called unilateral ptosis when it affects one eye and bilateral ptosis when it affects both eyes. It may come and go or it might be permanent. It can be present at birth, where it’s known as congenital ptosis, or it can be developed later in life, which is known as acquired ptosis.

Depending on the severity of the condition, droopy upper eyelids can block or greatly reduce vision depending on how much it obstructs the pupil. In most cases, the condition will resolve, either naturally or through medical intervention.

Signs & symptoms

One or both upper eyelids sag. In some cases, this can affect the vision.

Dry eyes or watery eyes

Tired look on face

Ache around eyes

Nedenler

It can be congenital due to defective development of levator muscles or the condition can be acquired.

As a result of a nerve injury or a temporary stye.

Eyelid tumours, cysts, or swelling.

Complication of LASIK or cataract surgery.

Serious conditions like stroke, brain tumour, or cancer.

Neuro-muscular diseases like myasthenia gravis

Horner’s syndrome.

Patofizyoloji

Ptosis is the result of dysfunction of one or both upper eyelid elevator muscles. These elevator muscles are the levator palpebrae superioris and the Mueller muscle.

The levator palpebrae superioris is a striated muscle innervated by the superior division of the oculomotor nerve (cranial nerve III). This muscle is about 40 mm long and originates from the lesser wing of the sphenoid. It continues anteriorly, and at the Whitnall ligament, it travels inferiorly as an aponeurosis. The aponeurosis is 14-20 mm long and inserts into the anterior aspect of the tarsal plate. It also sends attachments to the skin, forming the upper eyelid crease. The levator muscle and aponeurosis is the major elevator of the upper eyelid.

The Mueller muscle, a sympathetically innervated smooth muscle, originates from the undersurface of the levator superioris. Approximately 12 mm long, it inserts superiorly on the tarsal border and elevates the upper eyelid by approximately 2 mm.

Treatments

The treatment for droopy eyelid depends on the underlying cause and the severity.

Plastic surgery is the only option in senile and congenital ptosis.

Underlying medical conditions, if any, should be managed for the cure of associated ptosis.

Glasses that can hold the eyelid up, called a ptosis crutch, are another option. This treatment is often most effective when the droopy eyelid is only temporary. Surgery for ptosis includes the tightening of the levator muscle. This will lift the eyelid up into the desired position.

Another alternative is a “sling” operation, in which the forehead muscles are used to elevate the eyelids.

Ptosis crutch – A nonsurgical option that involves adding an attachment to the frames of the glasses. This attachment, or crutch, prevents drooping by holding the eyelid in place.

There are two types of ptosis crutches: adjustable and reinforced. Adjustable crutches are attached to one side of the frames, while reinforced crutches are attached to both sides of the frames.

Prognoz

Eyelid drooping is not a fatal or harmful condition to the general health. However, if vision is affected, treatment is needed.

The long-term outlook will depend on the cause of the droopy eyelid. Most of the time, the condition is just a cosmetic issue.

However droopy eyelids can sometimes be a sign of a serious disease, proper diagnosis is recommended.

Komplikasyonlar

Severe ptosis can cause amblyopia (lazy eye) or astigmatism. It is important to treat at a younger age, if left untreated, it could affect vision development.
