This study is being conducted to determine whether the use of bandage contact lens after ptosis surgery provides any benefits for the patient or is unnecessary. The investigators hope to show through questionnaires based on the patient's experience after their surgery to see if the bandage contact lens has provided any benefit for the patient. This is a randomized control trial in which patients undergoing bilateral ptosis surgery (Fasanella servat procedure) will have one of their eyes randomized to receive a bandage contact lens after surgery while the other eye will not receive anything.In this randomized control trial, patients requiring surgery with bilateral ptosis will have one eye randomized to receive a bandage contact lens whereas the other eye will not after their surgery. Follow up will occur in one week where the outcomes will be obtained through questionnaires.
