Excess Skin After Eyelid Surgery. An upper eyelid lift reduces the excess upper eyelid skin and muscle by making a fine incision in the crease of the lid. The sagging tissue is gently removed, along with the little fat pad in the corner of the eyes near the nose. The skin is then stitched back together.
Medically necessary contact lenses usually offer the wearer greater visual acuity than eyeglasses can provide. Contact lenses may be used as an alternative to replacing the lens of the eye for some eye conditions and may be needed after some optical surgical procedures like cataract removal.
A contact lens, or simply contact, is a thin lens placed directly on the surface of the eye. Contact lenses are considered medical devices and can be worn to correct vision, or for cosmetic or therapeutic reasons. In 2004, it was estimated that 125 million people worldwide use contact lenses, including 28 to 38 million in the United States.
