Can custom-made special prosthetic eyes improve ptosis?

  Patient: Description of the condition (time of onset, main symptoms, hospital visited, etc.): In September 2010, I had ordered a simulated eye piece at the outpatient clinic, and the result was very realistic. In March this year, I had an eye table exposure repair in Xiamen, and in June, I had another exposure repair in Beijing Yingzhi. I had the allograft scleral repair on June 27th, and I wore a transparent eye shell for two and a half months, and only wore the eye piece on September 15th, but the result was not as beautiful as before the surgery. Can I get a special eye piece tailored to the above situation to correct ptosis?  Zhao Shichun, Ophthalmologist, Tong Ren Hospital, Beijing, China: Hello, in your case, you will need to undergo plastic surgery to solve the ptosis problem.  Patient: It is better to have custom-made eye pieces made after surgery, because the lower eyelid sinks a bit when wearing eye pieces.  Zhao Shichun, Ophthalmology, Tong Ren Hospital, Beijing: Hello, you can recover for a period of time to see if the upper lid can be re-lifted and if that is not possible, then consider surgery.  Patient: That’s all I can do. Thank you for your valuable advice.  Zhao Shichun, Ophthalmology, Beijing Tongren Hospital: It’s up to you to determine which kind you can get.
