Ptosis+contact lenses?!
Question: Ptosis+contact lenses?
I'm 17 years old and i have ptosis. I am very scared about surgery, is there such thing as contact lenses that fix ptosis cosmetically without the surgery?

Ptosis (or a droopy eyelid) has absolutely nothing to do with refraction, which is what contact lenses correct. I suppose you could pull the skin up and tape it there, but you would look rather funny.
If you are that scared about the surgery, don't have it. It sounds like a cosmetic procedure that could be put off until you are older and more comfortable with the idea of surgery.
That being said, the surgery usually does have very good results, and as long as you trust your surgeon, you should be just fine.
