How effective are the ptosis "crutch" glasses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Somewhat effective: These elevate the lid and allow the eye to be opened. They do interfere with normal blinking and some find them less than tolerable. But others do not mind this and it does prevent the need for surgery.
