I have had cataract and glaucoma surgery in both eyes as well as a DMEK cornea replacement in one. I still use glaucoma medication. How long should I wait before considering an eyelid lift as the lid is blocking part of my vision. With very dry eye already, should I have lower lid raised at the same time? Also, how is the eye protected during the lift procedure? Thank you for your response. I need this done but as you might imagine, I am quite nervous about it.
