- Upper lid blepharoplasty, with crease elevation when needed
- Functional eyelid lift, covered by insurance when excess skin blocks your vision
- Lower lid blepharoplasty for bags under the eyes
Eye and vision exams
Eye and vision problems often have no obvious symptoms, but are easily diagnosed by a licensed optometrist.
