Myra Johnson, a 68-year-old retired school...
Myra Johnson, a 68-year-old retired school librarian, had noticed her right upper eyelid drooping progressively over the past two years. It began subtly, but now it significantly obstructed her vision, making reading and driving difficult. She felt constantly tired from straining to see and was self-conscious about her asymmetrical appearance, which friends commented on. Her ophthalmologist diagnosed her with severe ptosis, explaining that the levator muscle had stretched with age. He recommended an oculoplasty procedure called a ptosis repair to lift the eyelid. Myra was anxious about surgery near her eye but trusted her doctor. The procedure, done under local anesthesia, was quick and painless. Recovery involved mild swelling and bruising for a week, with lubricating eye drops. The outcome was excellent; her vision field was fully restored, and her eyes were symmetrical again. Emotionally, she moved from frustration and self-consciousness to relief and regained confidence, thrilled to read and drive with ease and feel like her old self.
