 Non-surgical modalities like the use of "crutch" glasses or ptosis crutches or special scleral contact lenses to support the eyelid may also be used.Ptosis that is caused by a disease may improve if the disease is treated successfully, although some related diseases, such as oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy, currently have no cures.If the ptosis is left untreated, then patients may experience amblyopia, also known as lazy eye, which can permanently damage the patient’s vision.
