Diagnosis & Evaluation for Droopy Eyelid

The doctor would then explain to the patient the symptoms and how long he/she has had them.

1. Comprehensive Eye Exam

This test would bring out underlying problems causing sagging eyelids and then interfering with vision. It would also look for the presence of excess skin, fat deposits, muscle weakness, asymmetry, and the position of the eyebrows. In case a surgery is recommended, a comprehensive eye exam also proves helpful in identifying the best surgical approach.

2. Visual field test

3. Microscopy

Also performed mainly for determining the status of the eyelids, cornea, conjunctiva, sclera, and iris. If the patient will go through the surgery, this test also measures marginal reflex distance (MRD) and studies the position of the eyes.

4. Schirmer’s test also Tear Production Test

This test is meant to check on the patient for having dry eyes. Possibly, he or she may consider that the patient has dry eyes before the doctor., as it might worsen the symptoms.

5. Myasthenia Gravis Tensilon Test

This is where the drug called Tensilon is injected into the eyelids to improve muscle strength; if it does improve the strength, Myasthenia Gravis, a neurological condition affecting the muscles of the upper eyelids, is present.

6. Eyelid Photography

Pictures of the eyes will be taken from different angles and would document the current appearance of the individual. This can be used for visual reference during surgical plans and shows the results of eyelid surgery before and after.

7. Ocular Motility Test (Eye Movement Test)

This test assesses how well the eye is able to make movements. Patients are asked to track the examiner’s finger through six positions of gaze: left upper lateral, superior, right upper in a right oblique anterior; supra and lateral in the left oblique postero-inferior. In this manner, the examiner assesses whether motility is full in every gaze direction.

8. Peripheral Vision Test

In the presence of marked eyelid ptosis, peripheral vision tests are ordered by the eye physician. Such tests form part of a full eye examination but are also done separately. Usually, an automated perimeter test is performed, wherein a machine is used for checking side vision. Besides this, either a confrontation visual field test or a tangent screen test may be conducted for peripheral vision assessment.
