All the previous surgeons have given a very thorough explanation on upper eyelid ptosis as well as the possible treatments, as well as the possibility of Medisave/Insurance claim.
My personal opinion is that you shouldn't worry about the "best" treatment for ptosis, but rather finding the best surgeon to operate on your ptosis. He or she should have a long track record of performing this surgery, with a whole plethora of patient photos to show you.
It is very important that you seek someone who performs this surgery on a regular basis, as the first surgery is often the best shot at achieving the best result.
Things to look out for during the consultation would be the symmetry of his post-surgical patients, the recovery period and the quality of the scar at 3-6 months post-operatively.
It would be even better if he can show you pictures of revision ptosis surgery he has handled from other doctors - it would show that he is able to handle complex cases and would know what to do should outcomes be less than desirable.
Medisave or insurance claim depends on an opthalmologic assessment as mentioned on your visual field and MRD1. The clinic you visit should have a partner ophthalmologist who can do this for you. In addition, the clinic will be able to efile for you should a claim be possible.
