My daughter is now 6 months old and was born with Congenital Ptosis. She had surgery at 3 months. Your daughter should have been taken care of a lot earlier than this because it can effect her eye development. Haven, my daughter, was consistently overlooked by the doctor until I finally told them I wanted to see a specialist, of which I had to bring it up to him to look at her eyelids as well.
Haven had her eyelid surgery at the Emory Eye Clinic in Atlanta, Dr. Bernadino. He is great and did a great job. The surgery performed was Sling Eye surgery. They make three small incisions over the eyelids and some on the eyelid itself. Slide three silicone bands underneath the skin and attach it to her eyelid and her forehead muscles at the incisions. The doctor first pulls the eyelid open with the bands and then ties them.
I was afraid of the anesthia and my baby being placed under the knife at such a young age. I would not take it back in a heart beat. She immediately, the next day, started acting normal plus acting like she was introduced to a new world.
Haven will have these bands for the rest of her life. The scars are already almost gone. She has now taught her herself to close her eyes again.
One thing, does your daughter use her forehead and eyebrows to open her eyes at all? It makes the surgery more successful because when she opens her eyes after the surgery it opens her eyes even more.
Check out Congential Ptosis on the internet and learn about it. That is what I did.
Definitely look into corrective surgery.
Good luck and let me know how everything goes.
I would be happy to send you some pictures of my baby girl before and after the surgery if you send me your email.
