Initial Screening

You have completed the initial screening for Lid Express. Based on your responses, we have determined that:

You’re not qualified for this service.

You do not meet the requirements for Lid Express at this time.

Bleeding, scabbing, eyelash loss or an "ulcerated appearance" may be signs of a cancerous growth. Based on your responses, your growth should be further examined by your optometrist or family doctor. If you do not have an optometrist you can arrange an appointment with one at Clarity Eye Institute. It is important to have possible skin cancers on the eyelids assessed as they can cause irreversible damage to the nearby skin or other organs in your body.

You're almost there!

To complete the assessment of your eyelid growth, we require further information from you. Please complete the intake form below and follow the instructions provided for taking the photos needed to complete your intake submission.

Instructions for taking your photos

  1. A photo taken straight-on that includes both eyes open
  2. A photo straight-on that includes both eyes closed
  3. Take a photo that best demonstrates the bump(s) you are concerned about
Tips for photo taking

Take photos in a bright room with natural light, avoid make-up.

If possible, ask someone to help you take the photo.
Avoid selfies as the quality of the photo tends to be reduced.

Send the photo that is MOST representative of what the bump looks like now.
We understand that some bumps may have looked better or worse in the past, but we want to see what the bump looks like in the present day.

Protect your privacy.
You do not need to send a full photo of your face but try to include half of your nose in the photo. This will make your photo less identifiable.

    Intake Form

    It is your responsibility to make sure that your email address is entered correctly, as it is the primary means for our communication with you including plans for surgery.

    Your ethnicity gives us information about which types of skin issues you may be prone to. This allows us to better interpret the photos you send in.

    Providing optometrist and family doctor information allows us to keep your healthcare team aware of your diagnoses and surgery.
