Surgical correction is especially critical for patients scheduled for other ocular procedures (such as cataract surgery or corneal transplants) to ensure a sterile environment and proper healing. Consequently, some form of definitive treatment is almost always recommended to protect the health of the eye.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_tta-panel\" id=\"1759324967850-f4a59940-18b0\" data-vc-content=\".vc_tta-panel-body\"><div class=\"vc_tta-panel-heading\"><h2 class=\"vc_tta-panel-title vc_tta-controls-icon-position-right\"><a href=\"#1759324967850-f4a59940-18b0\" data-vc-accordion data-vc-container=\".vc_tta-container\"><span class=\"vc_tta-title-text\">What is the treatment?<\/span><i class=\"vc_tta-controls-icon vc_tta-controls-icon-plus\"><\/i><\/a><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"vc_tta-panel-body\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element normal-text family-1 color-black text-justify acc-box\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>The definitive treatment is surgery, which typically involves tightening or shortening the eyelid to restore it to its natural anatomical position. This procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and is done on an outpatient basis, meaning the patient does not require hospitalization.<\/p>\n<p>For patients who are not candidates for surgery or prefer a non-invasive option, botulinum toxin (Botox) injections can be administered to the eyelid. However, this is a temporary solution; the effects are not permanent and the treatment must be repeated at regular intervals to remain effective.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 35px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t<div
