Fourth nerve palsy has gone undiagnosed for 36 years. This has caused eyelid and facial asymmetry. Is there help? (Photo)

Asked By:lvwise in Kentucky, KY

I was finally diagnosed with fourth nerve palsy in my left eye this week. After a lifetime of vision disturbances, chronic neck pain and embarrassment by my "wonky" floating eye, I'm finally on the path to having it corrected. My question is this, after the surgery to my eye muscle, is there anything I can do to correct the eyelid and facial asymmetry?
