I went to a doctor who said I have congenital eyelid ptosis which has been stable since birth. He told me the surgery to fix it would be covered. He sent me to a surgeon. The surgeon said My muscles aren't developed and can't hold up my eyelids. He said I don't need the surgery now bc the lid isn't low enough to cover my iris.
