Common age-related eyelid issues

I see many patients in Newcastle with droopy eyelids, watery eyes and other common eyelid conditions. Below are some of the common eyelid and tear duct problems I treat.

Where the trouble is loose, heavy skin above the eye rather than the eyelid itself, the treatment is upper eyelid blepharoplasty.

These conditions are often related to ageing and can cause symptoms such as watering, irritation, drooping eyelids and reduced vision.

There are very effective and safe surgical procedures to treat these issues that are performed under local anaesthetic and patients are able to return home the same day.
