I am 58 yo. with very dry eyes. Is a Brow Lift a much safer option than Blepharoplasty?

Asked By:juliana2014 in Oak Park, IL

I am 58 yo, and have had extremely dry eyes s/p lasix 14 years ago. I need to use Restasis drops a minimum of twice a day. When it's really dry in the winter, occasionally I need to use steroid eye drops.
