Ptosis - 3 years old

[Guest guest]

Dear Namita,

 

Namaste.

 

Thank you for your email.

 

Medical Background:

 

Ptosis (pronounced TOE-sis) is the medical term for

drooping eyelids. A person with ptosis is not able to

lift one or both upper eyelids to uncover the eye

completely.

 

Many people want to correct ptosis because it damages

their appearance. In most cases, the sagging upper

eyelid results in a loss of the superior (upper) field

of vision. In severe cases, ptosis may be present at

birth and, if left untreated, can permanently damage

vision by forcing the unaffected eye to do all the

work while letting the affected eye degenerate.

 

Types Of Ptosis

-Acquired or Levator Dehiscence Ptosis:

This is the most common type of upper eyelid ptosis.

The tendon of the levator muscle may loosen or detach,

causing ptosis. This process is similar to a knee

ligament sprain or tear. Levator dehiscence occurs

primarily in people greater than thirty years of age

and the incidence increases with age. It is not

uncommon for one to develop a droopy upper eyelid

following cataract surgery. The cataract surgery may

be the " last straw " that causes a weak tendon to

finally give way.

 

-Congenital Ptosis:

Congenital ptosis is the common form of eyelid ptosis

present since childbirth. It may involve one or both

upper eyelids and vary in severity from mild to

severe. This form of eyelid ptosis is often the result

of lack of development of the levator muscle.

Treatment is primarily surgical where the affected

eyelid muscles are shortened / resected for eyelid

elevation. The surgery may also use other methods to

repair the ptosis, such as a technique called fascia

suspension.

 

Symptoms:

The drooping eyelid is the principal sign in ptosis.

Children with congenital ptosis often tilt their heads

back or raise their eyebrows to lift the eyelid.

Adults have the same symptoms, but they also notice a

loss of vision, especially in the upper field.

 

 

Medical Treatment:

For acquired or levator dehiscence ptosis, the doctor

must first determine the cause of the problem. If

ptosis is a result of muscle or nerve disease, the

doctor will begin by treating the disease first. If a

tumor is the cause, it can sometimes be removed. In

some cases, the doctor may suggest surgery. This

operation is the same one surgeons use for congenital

ptosis: shortening the levator muscle or connecting it

to the muscles of the brow.

 

For congenital ptosis, the treatment is surgery. As

noted above, the procedure involves either shortening

the levator muscle or attaching it to the muscles of

the brow.

 

Pseudoptosis:

One of the reasons it is so important to find out the

cause of acquired ptosis is that some people appear to

have ptosis, but do not really have a problem with the

levator muscle. Instead, they have pseudoptosis or

false ptosis.

 

Some of the causes of pseudoptosis are an excessive

amount of eyelid skin that appears to cover the eye or

simply unusual facial characteristics. Sometimes, a

protrusion of one eye may make the opposite eye look

as if it had ptosis. When ptosis is suspected, a

complete examination of the eye must be done to find

the real cause of the problem.

 

Pranic Healing:

 

1. Invoke and scan before, during and after

treatment.

 

2. General sweeping.

 

3. Localized thorough sweeping on the entire head,

eye lids alternately with LWG and ordinary LWV.

 

4. Localized thorough sweeping on the ajna chakra,

the back head minor chakra and temple minior chakras.

Energize with LWG, ordinary LWV then with gold.

Visualize the pranic energy going to the eye lids.

 

5. Localized thorough sweeping on the throat chakra,

front and back solar plexus chakra, navel, sex and

basic chakras. Energize them with white.

 

6. Apply distributive sweeping front and back.

 

7. Stabilize and release projected pranic energy.

 

8. Repeat treatment twice per week.

 

Love,

 

Marilette
