A member asked:
5 mo old son has congenital ptosis. eye doc says maybe surgery needed. chiropractor thinks he can help. what is best option for managemetn?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would follow: the eye doctor's advise, not the chiropracter. It would be reasonable to get another opinion from another ophthalmologist, preferably a pediatric ophthalmologist. I'm not suggesting rushing off to surgery, but exploring options from proper medical channels.
