Recovering from the Condition of Droopy eyelids with Acupuncture Treatment

Ptosis also referred to as blepharoptosis, is defined as an abnormal low-lying upper eyelid margin with the eye in primary gaze. The causes of drooping eye muscles vary, including degenerative weakness of eyelids, Myasthenia Gravis (abbreviated as M.G.) that results in drooping eyelids, and the nervous damage of the levator muscles due to surgery that leads to weakness of the eye muscles, with the latter one, a clinical sequela, being the trickiest, because the nerves have been damaged and almost nothing can be done to cure it.

    眼肌下垂的原因有很多，有的是老化的眼皮無力 (Achalasia ) ，有的是重症肌無力( Myasthenia Gravis，簡稱M.G. )的眼瞼下垂，有的是手術傷到提眼肌(Levator muscle)神經的眼肌無力，臨床上後者這種手術後遺症最棘手，因為已經破壞到神經，幾乎是無計可施。

    記得跟診時看到有位六十出頭的男性患者來的時候是大小眼，說是血管瘤開刀後遺症，我從來沒遇過眼皮下垂的患者，何況是術後傷到神經的，所以很期待看老師怎麼治療。結果老師在還沒扎針前就跟患者說：｢手術的後遺症一般比較難處理，不過我們試試看，如果幸運的話，等下你應該會感受到不一樣。｣老實說，當時我心裡的問號像星星一樣滿天飛的。
