What are the best treatments for ptosis in Singapore, and is ptosis Medisave claimable?

Doctor's Answer

The good news is that visually significant ptosis (droopy eyelids) that obscures the visual axis may be eligible for use of medisave or integrated insurance plans to cover the cost of surgical correction for ptosis.

This will require a visit to your oculoplastic surgeon who is an ophthalmologist.

A comprehensive examination will be performed, including photos taken and an automated visual field to determine the extent and severity of droopiness and potential improvement after surgery.

You should have a detailed discussion with your oculoplastic surgeon who will best advise you if you are eligible for ptosis correction using Medisave, and which option of surgical correction is most suitable for you.

Best of luck!
