I do not know of any nonsurgical correction for ptosis. I had it in one eye and had surgery for it. The surgery was outpatient and not bad at all. Painful once the pain medicine wears off, but that's what the pain medicine is for. Ice it down for a few days and then the sutures inside the lid dissolve. I would recommend anyone to have the surgery (as long as they have insurance). I can see better and I look more normal without the drooping. Unfortunately, I am having problems with the other eye now. Please post a message if anyone has a nonsurgical correction...
