MemberI was unfortunate that the doctors did not recognise that I had ocular myasthenia gravis, and operated. Operations for ptosis are really corrective cosmetic surgery. But, ptosis caused by myasthenia gravis can be helped with medication. An operation will appear successful, but as experienced in my case within a short time the eye will droop again. It’s better to wait for a diagnosis.
