Upper eyelid surgery to improve early vision quality
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at whether upper blepharoplasty (surgery to remove excess upper eyelid skin) improves how clearly you see soon after surgery. It’s mainly for people whose extra upper eyelid skin blocks part of their vision and causes eye opening trouble and headaches.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have extra upper eyelid skin that interferes with your vision (functional dermatochalasis)
- You feel your upper field of vision is blocked, especially with morning eyelid swelling
- You often need to use your forehead muscles to open your eyes and see enough for daily tasks
- You have headaches that you believe are related to your vision being blocked
- You have not had certain past eye surgeries (like corneal refractive surgery)
- You do not have significant eye conditions such as severe dry eye, glaucoma, or age-related macular degeneration
