OHIP Coverage
OHIP Coverage for
Eyelid Surgery
When eyelid conditions affect vision or eye health, OHIP may cover surgery entirely. Dr. Gill manages the full documentation and approval process.
What OHIP Covers
Dermatochalasis (upper eyelid skin excess)
Covered when visual field testing documents obstruction of the superior visual field by overhanging skin.
Ptosis (eyelid drooping)
Covered when the eyelid margin obstructs the visual axis or causes significant visual field loss on Humphrey perimetry.
Ectropion (outward eyelid turning)
Covered when causing corneal exposure, chronic tearing, or surface damage.
Entropion (inward eyelid turning)
Covered when eyelashes contact the corneal surface, causing irritation, scarring, or risk of infection.
Brow ptosis contributing to visual obstruction
May contribute to eligibility when documented on visual field testing alongside dermatochalasis.
Chalazion / Eyelid Lesions
Removal of benign eyelid lesions and chalazia is typically covered when clinically indicated.
How the Process Works
Assessment, visual field testing, photography, and OHIP submission are all managed by our team. You do not need a prior referral — a consultation with Dr. Gill is the starting point. Many patients do not realise their condition qualifies until they are assessed.
