One Eye Looks Smaller Than the Other After Ectropion Repair and I Have Impaired Vision when I Look to my Left? (photo)

francis189
In Feb 2012 I had an ectropion repair after top & lower eye surgery 6 months prior. My left eye wouldn't stay closed while I slept so was always irritated. I was told it was a simple procedure . The result is that my left eye is now smaller/shows less outer white than the right. When I look to my left I have no clear vision with my top & lower eyelid covering my eyeball. it looks ugly and my eyelid still peels open at night. My doctor says it can be fixed. I dread another op. What should I do?
