Blurred Vision After Having Lower Facelift/upper and Lower Eyes, What Can Be Done? (photo)

L
Love11Mar 11, 2012

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
