Common signs
- A drooping upper lid
- Lashes rubbing the eye
- A lid turning inward or outward
- A lump or a changing spot on the lid
How we can help
Dr. Samir looks at the whole eyelid and how it protects the eye, not just its appearance. Treatment may be ptosis correction, entropion or ectropion repair, removal of a lump, blepharoplasty or reconstruction.

What to expect
Examination
Dr. Samir checks the lid position, how it closes and the eye surface. Tell him about dry eye, past surgery and your medicines.
Your plan
He explains the procedure, the expected change and its limits.
Recovery
You get instructions for wound care, stitches and reviews.
Common questions
Can an eyelid problem affect my vision?
Yes. A drooping or badly placed lid can block vision or leave the eye unprotected.
Is every eyelid operation an “eye lift”?
No. Different problems need different operations. Ask for your exact diagnosis.
How long is recovery?
It depends on the procedure. Ask about work, driving and home duties for your own plan.
Will a removed lump be tested?
Dr. Samir tells you if the tissue will go to a laboratory, and how you will get the result.
Sudden loss of vision, a curtain over your sight, severe pain or an eye injury: get urgent eye care.
