Eyelid drooping, medically known as ptosis, can affect vision and appearance, creating challenges both functional and cosmetic. If you are looking for the best ptosis surgery in North West London, Blue Fin Vision® offers expert care from top-rated surgeons and specialists at our private eye clinic located in Chase Lodge Hospital, Barnet.

What Is Ptosis? Understanding Eyelid Drooping
Ptosis is a condition where one or both upper eyelids droop abnormally, sometimes obstructing your field of vision. It occurs when the muscles responsible for lifting the eyelid weaken or malfunction. Ptosis affects people of all ages, from congenital cases in infants to acquired forms due to ageing, injury, or underlying medical issues.
Causes and Symptoms of Ptosis
Causes
- Age-related weakening of the levator muscle
- Congenital defects affecting eyelid muscle function
- Nerve damage from trauma or neurological conditions
- Previous eyelid surgeries or infections
Symptoms
- Visible drooping of one or both eyelids
- Obstructed or reduced field of vision
- Eye strain or headaches from attempting to lift the eyelid
- Changes in facial symmetry or tired appearance
If you notice any degree of eyelid drooping or functional difficulties, expert evaluation is essential. Blue Fin Vision®’s top specialists provide thorough assessments to determine the severity and causes of ptosis of the eyelid in North West London.
