He had surgery to correct the ptosis in August 2010 at 17 months old. He was unable to close his eye after surgery. But as the swelling went down and with time his eye started to close more. To it only being slightly open when he was asleep. He has to have 2 hourly drops in his eye. I have noticed recently that his eye appears to be drooping more and his pupil is half covered most of the time. It is worse when he is tired. has the surgery failed? It is only his left eye that is affected.
