Patient: My daughter was born with ptosis and had a congenital heart surgery, now she is 2 years old, her eyes still like to run and her appearance feels a little swollen, she was born like this, I want to get her eyes fixed but I don’t know when is the right time, and we are from out of town, I heard it takes a long time to get the surgery, we have to travel back and forth, when is the right time to come? Thank you! Doctor: Hi, sympathy for your child. Ptosis is usually operated on around the age of 3-4, but if the ptosis is severe, such as when the upper eyelid mostly or completely covers the pupil, surgery should be performed at the age of 2 to prevent it from causing amblyopia to form. I don’t know the extent of your child’s ptosis, so please provide more detailed information or photos. If you are planning to come for surgical treatment, I can help you to write the hospitalization order in advance and then submit it to the hospitalization registry to line up and notify you to bring your child directly to the hospital when there is a bed available, so that you can avoid traveling back and forth. Patient: When I came to Shanghai last year to review my heart surgery, I looked at the ophthalmology department at that hospital. At that time, the doctor said that it was serious and that we should operate as soon as possible, but that hospital would not do this kind of surgery and asked us to come to Jiu Hospital, which has been delayed until now. We would like to have an operation on her eyes and hope that we don’t miss the best time, so we are very much in trouble for you to schedule her operation. She is already more unfortunate than others and we want to give her a healthy and happy life, like other children of her age. Doctor: Is the child confirmed to be two weeks old? If you have fully recovered from the heart surgery in Shanghai, you should come to hospital for the surgery soon. If the heart has not fully recovered yet, or the function is not up to the standard of a normal child of this age, you can consider waiting for another six months or so for the surgery. If hospitalization is determined, arrangements can be made for you in the same way as my first reply. Life photos are fine as long as you can see the eye condition.
