Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic
I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having congenital ptosis in left eye with jaw winkling syndrome.
Please find the answers as below.
1. There is no possibility of genetic propagation of this problem as this is not genetically inherited.
2.The chin up position can be treated by the treatment of ptosis. Jaw winkling ptosis can be treated by surgery in the form of bilateral Frontalis sling suspension. The results of the surgery are also satisfactory. Hence I advice you to consult oculoplasty surgeon for examination and to decide on the next course of treatment.
3.Ptosis does not come under visually handicapped certificate.
Hope I have answered your question and the information is helpful to you.
Thank you
With regards
