I have mysathenia graivs. My doc did a lid lift in hopes to help this. It did not. I had a lot of complications. I still have droopy lids.
What do we do now to fix this? I assume it is the muscle that lifts the eyelid. I could not open my eyes for 7 days after the surgery, and it was not due to swelling.
I really would prefer to work this out with the doctor and let him fix this. I think the problem is the levator muscle of the eyelid but not sure if Mysathenia Gravis is the cause. How do we fix it? I feel so betrayed.
Myasthenia gravis is a medical condition resulting from neural transmission problems between the nerve and the muscle. This results in a "weak muscle" and secondary ptosis. Myasthenia gravis can usually be treated with medications to correct the neurologic problem and thereby correct the ptosis. Surgery is a last resort and frequently is unsuccessful.
