1.5mm ptosis in the right eye & increased risk of postoperative keratopathy, what should I do?

I visited an oculoplastic surgeon today who looked at my eyes, and came to the conclusion that I 1.5mm eyelid droop, but due to the fact I have no Bilateral Bells reflex, that I have an increased chance of Postoperative Exposure Keratopathy, which can cause eye pain.
