Asked By:akira1993 in San Francisco, CA

I had ptosis surgery on my right eye 5 days ago. I am happy with the healing. My only concern is about the possibility of Hering law affecting my other eye. I did the phenylephrine test and it didn't unmask a latent ptosis. My right eye (the ptotic one) used to be really dry before surgery so I used eye drops. While the left eye doesn't seem to be dropping, now it feels quite dry compared to the other. I was wondering why this is happening and if my left eye could still in the future Thank you
