Question:
I have excess skin above my eyelids that impairs my vision. Will a blepharoplasty help improve this? Would insurance cover the procedure?
Answer:
Visual impairment is an indication to have your upper eyelids operated upon if excess skin is what is causing the visual impairment. Insurance will cover a portion of the procedure however, the criteria are fairly strict and you will need a visual field test by your ophthalmologist prior to insurance covering the blepharoplasty.
