Blepharoplasty: Enhance Your Vision & Quality of Life!

As we age, drooping upper eyelids can impair vision and affect daily life. Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, addresses these issues by removing excess skin and fat from the eyelids. This procedure not only enhances appearance but also improves peripheral vision and overall eyesight, leading to clearer and more comfortable vision.

At Fishman & Sheridan EyeCare Specialists, our board-certified ophthalmologist, Dr. Jeffrey Sheridan, offers expert blepharoplasty in Leesburg, Clermont, and Eustis. Whether you’re dealing with droopy eyelids, or looking to improve your vision, our team is dedicated to helping you achieve better vision and a refreshed outlook.

When to Consider Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is ideal for those with droopy or saggy eyelids, eyelid puffiness, or obstructed vision due to excess skin. While commonly sought by individuals over 55, anyone with these concerns may benefit. During your consultation, Dr. Sheridan will evaluate your eyelid condition, vision, and health to determine if blepharoplasty is right for you.

Benefits of Blepharoplasty

  • Improved Vision: Excess skin on the upper eyelids can obstruct your view. Eyelid surgery effectively removes this skin, enhancing your peripheral vision and overall eyesight.
  • Enhanced Comfort: By alleviating eyelid droopiness, the surgery can reduce discomfort and improve your daily visual experiences.
  • Smoother Eyelid Skin: The procedure also addresses crepey skin on the eyelids, contributing to a smoother and more rejuvenated appearance.

Recovery After Eyelid Surgery

In the initial days following the procedure, you may experience temporary swelling and bruising, managed with OTC pain relievers and cold compresses for your comfort. Full recovery can take 4-8 weeks. At that time, you can expect rejuvenated, youthful eyelids with results that will last for years. Our dedicated team is here to guide you through every step!

Other Eyelid Conditions

  • Ectropion: Eyelid turns outward, causing dryness and potential infection.
  • Entropion: Eyelid turns inward, leading to irritation from lashes contacting the eye.
  • Chalazion / Stye: A chalazion is a painless lump on the eyelid caused by a blocked oil gland, while a stye is a red, painful bump from an infected gland or follicle. A chalazion develops slowly, while a stye is typically more tender and inflamed.
