Age related changes to the eyelids can result in droopy lids and excess eyelid skin that block vision. In addition, eyelid malpositions often interfere with normal tear pumping mechanisms leading to reduced drainage and abnormal tear pooling on the eye surface. Dry eye can worsen or be worsened by lid position. The interplay of eyelids, tears and dry eye will be discussed and treatment options outlined.
