The eyelid has a complex design, with many intricate layers sandwiched into a structure only a few millimeters thick. Abnormalities of eyelid position and function may develop when even a single layer becomes defective.The most common causes of problems requiring corrective eyelid surgery include aging, cancer, trauma, birth defects, and complications from previous cosmetic eyelid surgery.
While such conditions pose a serious threat to the health and integrity of the underlying eye, modern corrective eyelid surgery under local anesthesia can usually remedy the problem.
