Fortunately, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) offers a transformative solution to enhance both appearance and eye function.

This procedure aims to strengthen the cornea, the transparent front part of the eye, by using a combination of ultraviolet (UV) light and a photosensitizing eye drop.

The cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped front part of your eye that helps focus light into your eye, allowing you to see clearly.
