Julianne Roberts can see very well now, but before the surgery her sight was heavily impaired. She had a prominent frown line - the brows were below the brow line and her eyelids were sagging, blocking vision.

Julianne was a perfect candidate for the surgery as a medical procedure. Vision problems typically increase with age and sometimes the problem is on the outside. The eyelids and brow begins to sag as gravity sets in impairing vision. Many people have turned to cosmetic surgery, not covered by insurance. People who noticed their eyelids drooping or noticed their brow drooping would go to a surgeon and pay money to have that corrected thinking it was cosmetic. But it becomes a functional surgery, not a cosmetic surgery, if their visual field is affected and so more people are aware of that.

Julianne underwent a brow lift and a blepharoplasty or an eyelid lift, both covered by insurance.

She was a perfect candidate for the surgery as a medical procedure. So if you suffer from a similar problem, do go in for the visual field test. The visual field test helps determine if it\'s a medical issue.

Medicare and other insurance will cover the surgery if vision is below the 30 degree mark and improves to the 40-50 degree mark. Doctors say that eyelid lift as a medical issue is gaining popularity.
