I was born with ptosis of the eyelids in 1964. Both my daughter and son has ptosis pf the eyelids. My grandchild was NOT born with ptosis. Can someone tell me if ptosis is still just as prevelant for my grandchildren that have yet to be born? I had several surgeries. My last surgery was in 1980. When my children were born [1988 and the other in 1994] I did not feel that the surgical techniques for ptosis were very different from the ones performed in my childhood. Are there any breakthroughs for the correction of ptosis?

hello I have 3 little children with slight ptosis in the left eye and the youngest child seem to have gone away. most people to do no see the ptosis in my children and the only on that has so far is a neurologist.he lookedt my son and pics of the other children and said he has no idea what causes ptosis in 3 childrens eyes. it is very frustrating because i have been dealing with headaches and backaches and muscle aches as well with my 4 yr old and no doc will help me. what i need is some answers is this going to go away? r the headaches going to end? and the backaches too? also many of the people i read about where born with the ptosis, not my children. is there any virus or bacteria that can cause these kinda things? they have have had every kinda sickness you can think of these past 8 months including mono, mrsa, and several colds and lots of diarrea. please someone give me some answers if they know anything?

I am 26 years old and I have ptosis on the left eye since birth, it was completely shut close, couldn't open it. I have had many surgerys since 6 months old to correct it and this has managed to open my lid half way, but still very noticable. My question is....if I have children, would I pass this to my children?

Hi, I have Ptosis in my right eye. Actually I have severe Ptosis. People usually don't make out that I have Ptosis cause my eyelid does not droop too much. The drooping is very little but the problem is that I cannot move my lid up, and due to this people say that I have a squint in my eyes, rest everything is fine. I can even close my eyes properly. I have had it from birth. When i was small, doctor said that it can be corrected by some exercises. Now when I approach the doctor he says that it cannot be done by any exercise, only surgery would work and that also would have some problems. My eyelid wont move after surgery. They say my muscle is very weak.It angers me. Though the doctors have said that no option decides surgery, I think that with my dedication i would make it correct with some exercises. After all nothing is impossible and this is just a small muscle of my eye. Does anybody have any exercises? Please help.

Ptosis, if severe, has been traditionally reverse surgically. A recent break-through now allow it to be reversed using Proprioceptive Signals - See http://www.rothbartsfoot.info/ Testimonialsgen.html
