Is it possible to have permanent blurry vision after a mullerectomy?

Fastchic39Oct 1, 2014

I am 12 days out from my surgery for a slight drooping of the right eyelid caused by a 2nd strabismus surgery 4 yrs ago. So far, it looks like a decent height, even though later the Dr admitted he didn't think he corrected it enough. But ever since the surgery, I have a slight blur to my vision in the eye, and I'm worried there is some kind of permanent "warping" of the cornea. I have been fighting blurred vision in my left eye due to multiple chalazion cysts, but those are at least removable!

 I recommend you not rub your eyes and see a dermatologist. You probably have atopic dermatitis. Wrinkling and hyperpigmentation are characteristic of that condition. In general hyperpigmentation is treated with bleach creams. If that fails lasers can help. Additional wrinkles can...

Many different situations can lead to uneven eyelids. Some of these can be treated non-surgically and conservatively, even using some very advanced injection techniques with filler or very precise placement of Botox. Some situations truly do require surgery to resolve.  It is important that y...

The small amount of inferior scleral show, even the asymmetry, is normal.  The flip side is that fixing this is very challenging.  The photo does demonstrate significant left upper eyelid ptosis.  A detailed oculoplastic consultation with an aesthetically oriented surgeon should...

It would be helpful to see your before pictures, but assuming there was nothing unusual about your eyelids before your surgery, I think by now your eyelids should not look this swollen.  It is impossible to say why your swelling is persisting.  A possible reaction to your sutures?

I have been conservatively treating chalazia (or more technically meibomian gland cysts) for many years using intralesional corticosteroid injections of varying concentrations depending upon the size of the cyst. These cysts usually shrink dramatically after only one or two sessions spaced a...
