Blurred Vision After Having Lower Facelift/upper and Lower Eyes, What Can Be Done? (photo)
It has been 19months since my surgery. Shortly after the surgery my vision began to blur. It is so blured that I need reading glasses to eat dinner. I sometimes cannot recognize my son when he is on the court playing basketball. Is there anything my surgeon can do or arrange through another doctor to correct this? I am going to see him regarding the concern I have with indention between my eye and cheek bone and thought that would be the time to mention this as well. Vision is #1 concern

I urge you to have a routine examination with your ophthalmologist. Perhaps you...

Consult an Ophthalmologist immediately
You need to consult with an eye specialist immediately. There is no reason for you to have waited this long if this was infact a problem. This cannot be speculated about or be given advice to on line. Please do not delay.
