Glue to treat saggy eyelids


Is there a glue to treat saggy eyelids?

Over the years various types of transparent sticky tapes and glues have been developed to treat ptosis but every one of these products has failed to live up to expectations. Now there is a company, which sells a product called eye magic. One buys these transparent eye strips and places then over the eyelid. The company mentions that these invisible strips can help restore eye elasticity temporarily. Both sides of the strips are sticky and by adhering to skin, the ptosis is reduced. This is not a new discovery at all and many such tapes are available on the market.

The question is do these strips work? There are many testimonials on the eye magic website but most appear to be bogus. Elsewhere on the internet, most people claim that eye magic strips are a fraud and the strips do not stick on the eyelid for more than a few minutes. Moreover, the airstrips easily fall off. The strips are also difficult to attach to oily and wet skin. Moreover, one is unable to blink the eye for the rest of the day. By keeping eye in a “stare mode” all day, the eye also becomes dry, red and is cosmetically unappealing. The eyelids sticky tapes cost about $30 for a few weeks supply.  Definitely not recommended.
