2 Weeks Post Blepharoplasty Scleral Show, Used Steri-strips to Tape the Eye, but Its Still Irritated and Teary, Options? (photo)

March 27, 2012

If the eye is taped correctly ( I am not sure it is), how often should I re-tape , because steri-strips are pretty tough? Anything I could do to reduce tearing and irritation? I am using a lubricant eye gel. When should I consider a revision, and could you please recommend a good oculoplastic surgeon in Washington DC for such a revision (lower lid).
