Evaluation
Tapes for the eyelids are basically a working treatment method for drooping eyelids. Above all, they can temporarily eliminate medical problems associated with the disease. Their greatest weakness is that they are merely a so-called symptomatic form of therapy.
Although the symptoms and complaints of drooping eyelids are treated, the cause of the complaints cannot be eliminated. Strengths of eyelid tape are that, if used correctly, it can completely prevent both vision and drying of the eyes due to drooping eyelids. At the same time, an improved cosmetic result is also achieved, although the tapes can often be seen.
A major disadvantage of eyelid tapes is that they are not a permanent therapy. Instead, the tapes must be reapplied every day. In addition, there is a risk of permanent damage to the eye because of the possibility of allergic reactions and incorrect application (incorrect sticking). Therefore, the application of the tapes should only be carried out after instruction in the treatment by an experienced specialist.
