Eyelid surgery work
The blepharoplasty page describes the practice's procedure generally and is not attributed to Dr. Kearsley individually; Mountain View Eye Center has two surgeons (Dr. Kearsley and Dr. James Richard Townley III).
- Blepharoplasty. An incision in the eyelid gives access to the levator muscle; excess skin and fat are removed, and the incision is closed and partially hidden in the eyelid's natural fold; performed outpatient (blepharoplasty).
- The page frames blepharoplasty as medically necessary when the eyelid interferes with vision, or for ectropion, entropion or trichiasis, versus elective (same page).
No before-and-after gallery exists on the site; the site's navigation has no gallery section.
Other procedures
The practice offers cataract surgery, glaucoma treatment and surgery, medical retina, dry eye treatment, LASIK, PRK and SMILE refractive surgery (mountainvieweyes.com).
Insurance and cost
"Insurance will likely cover the cost of this procedure when it is determined to be medically necessary" (blepharoplasty). No dollar price for blepharoplasty is published.
