Will long-term contact lens wearing cause ptosis?

The key to the beauty of eyes lies in whether they have spirit

But this god is nothing mysterious

Big eyes mean spirit

therefore

Many beautiful girls

Prefer to wear contact lenses for a long time

However, if these practices are inappropriate

More likely to develop ptosis

Ptosis can make your eyes look more listless

01. Are people who wear soft contact lenses for a long time more likely to suffer from ptosis?

It's possible!

The diameter of soft contact lenses is larger than the diameter of the cornea, and the upper edge of the lens will directly contact the upper eyelid. Therefore, long-term wearing of soft contact lenses will cause continuous mechanical damage to the levator aponeurosis of the upper eyelid, which may lead to aponeurotic ptosis. In the early stage, the symptoms of ptosis are not obvious and are easily ignored. Over time, it may affect vision.

02. What should I do if I have ptosis?

Lu Xiulan, assistant director of the Eyelid and Orbital Disease/Ocular Plastic Surgery Department at the Aier Eye Hospital Affiliated to Wuhan University (Aier Eye Hospital Group Hubei General Hospital), said: Surgery is an effective treatment for both mild and severe ptosis. For example, for aponeurotic ptosis caused by long-term contact lens wear, levator palpebrae superioris aponeurotic repair is generally considered. This surgical method is consistent with anatomy and physiology, retains the inner and outer corners of the Müller muscle and levator palpebrae superioris muscle, and maintains the normal structure of the eyelid.
