Would canthopexy/canthopexy make dry eyes worse? (Photo)

Asked By:user1997eyes

I have lower lid refraction which results in scleral show and a negative canthal tilt. I also have quite dry eyes, which I am managing with scleral lenses (they work quite well by keeping my cornea bathed in fluid) I've wanted a canthopexy for quite some time, as I would prefer a neutral canthal tilt I am afraid that it could worsen dry eye, however is it possible it could help my dry eye as less of my eye would be exposed if the lower lid is raised?
