The effect of visually significant dermatochalasis and blepharoptosis on driving safety

CONCLUSIONS: In this cohort, visually significant blepharoptosis and dermatochalasis were not associated with rates of MVCs or MVs. Further work is needed to study the impact of these common conditions on driving, for example adjusting MVC and MV rates by miles driven, which may influence decisions about when to operate on ptotic eyelids.PMID:34133254 | DOI:10.1080/15389588.2021.1927003
