What Are Eyelid Crutch Glasses?

Eyelid crutch glasses are ordinary-looking eyewear frames fitted with a small, precision-engineered support — the eyelid crutch — that rests gently against the upper eyelid. As you wear the glasses, the crutch quietly holds the eyelid in an open position, giving you a clear, unobstructed field of vision throughout the day.

The term eyelid crutches and ptosis crutch glasses refer to the same product. The crutch is the mechanism; the glasses are the frame that holds it in place. ARTView is one of the very few specialist brands manufacturing these frames in a range of styles suitable for everyday wear.

The Crutch Mechanism

A small support arm — typically made from lightweight metal or rigid polymer — is mounted to the inner upper rim of the frame. It rests against the eyelid to assist it open.

Who Uses Them

People with ptosis (drooping eyelid) — whether from birth, age-related muscle weakness, nerve conditions, or post-surgical effects — use eyelid crutch glasses to manage the condition without surgery.

How They Feel

Most users adjust within a few days. The crutch is designed to apply gentle, consistent support rather than pressure. Many wearers report forgetting they have it on after the first week.

Eyelid Crutches — What You Need to Know

Are eyelid crutches the same as ptosis crutches?

Yes — both terms describe the same device. Eyelid crutch is commonly used in English-speaking Western markets; ptosis crutch is used more widely in medical and Indian contexts. The product is identical.

Can eyelid crutch glasses have prescription lenses?

Yes. All ARTView eyelid crutch frames can be fitted with prescription lenses — single vision or bifocal. You provide your prescription at the time of order and the lenses are fitted before dispatch.

Are they suitable for children?

Yes. ARTView makes eyelid crutch glasses for children. Paediatric ptosis is a recognised condition and children benefit from non-surgical management while other options are evaluated. See our kids range.

How long does it take to get used to them?

Most users adapt within 3–7 days. The crutch is a light, consistent support — not a clamp. Some users feel mild awareness in the first few days, which typically fades as the eyelid and brow muscles adjust.

Can I wear eyelid crutch glasses all day?

Yes, they are designed for full-day wear. Many users put them on first thing in the morning and remove them only at bedtime. They are safe to wear for extended periods.

Do I need a doctor's prescription to order?

No referral is needed to order. If you want prescription lenses, you will need your optical prescription. For plain lenses (no power), no prescription is required.
