About Dr. Hugo Higa

Ptosis (droopy muscle) and Dermatochalasis (excess upper eyelid skin) can cause your lids to block your vision from above and the sides. Dr. Higa can help by tightening the eyelid muscles and/or removing excess upper eyelid skin and fat. As we age, our lenses gradually become more opaque. This can lead to a number of issues: difficulty driving at night, worsening vision at distance or near, halos and glare around lights. When glasses and contacts no longer correct blurred vision, you may have cataracts. Sometimes when it looks like your eyelids are droopy, it’s really your eyebrows that are pressing down on to your lids. This can give others the impression that you are angry. It can also block the vision from the sides. Dr. Higa can help determine if your drooping is caused by your eyelids, eyebrows, or both.
