Would ptosis eyelid surgery be okay with my ongoing issues since the shingles?

Jnana1989
About 11 years ago I had shingles in my eye. Since then, I have been on eye drops for dryness, have to get prokera contact 2-3 times per year to help my eye. I have ptosis in that eye and I am considering having the eyelid surgery. would do other eye also since it needs it. Possibly do lower lids at same time. Would you recommend it to be okay to have the surgery with my ongoing issues since the shingles? Thank you
