Asked By:puttap1 in Bangalore, IN

Hi Doctors, I've droopy eyelids since 1.5 yrs with right eye more droopy than left. Myasthenia Gravis has been ruled out by performing all the relevant tests(Neostigmine, RNS, SFEMG, Anti AChR). I've fluctuating thyroid levels(hypothyroidism). I've been diagnosed with Chronic Progressive External Opthalmoplegia. I've attached my photos. Which surgery is the best recommended for me? Frontalis sling or the other ones?? Who is the best specialist surgeon to perform the same in India?? Thanks.
