Ptosis surgery failure ? Eyes too tight.

December 29, 2013

Hi, I had ptosis surgery 6 weeks ago on my right eye. I think the doctor took too much skin from my eyebrow. I was born with the droopy eye so he tighten some of my eye muscles. I think he did it too tight, I can not close my eye it is half way open and it dries out ALL the time. I can not look up all the way and when I look down it looks like that eye is still looking up. I can not blink either. My doctor says it is fine, but I am soo scared it this normal? How am I ever going to close my eye again?
