Will Laser Resurfacing Make my Dry Eye Worse or Better?

Peter Hewitt 1
I have had lower blepharoplasty and I am considering laser resurfacing. But I got dry eye after the surgery. I want to do the laser to help with wrinkles. However I have been told that the laser could make things worse. But another surgeon has found that after laser, sufferers of dry have had improvement as it has restored elasticity to the lower eyelids and improved the function of the eyelid spreading the tear film across your eye. I would be grateful for any professional opinions. Thanks
