Lagophthalmos, twitching of eyelid, dry eye after upper bleph (Photo)

May 16, 2024
Asked By:emmydonay in Abbeyville, Colorado, USA

I had an upper bleph 6 months ago and 1 month ago I started to get uncomfortable closing my eyes, twitches when I close my eyes. How can I make the eyelid to stretch? The doctor took to much skin. I have pain (dry eye) and already using eye drops and oitment at night. I feel like the space between the eye is getting bigger every month. Is it possible for this gap to stretch by itself? How can I make it faster? Any exercises? How many years will it take to be ok? I don’t want to do a skin graft
