Blurry vision (corneal astigmatism) after Asian Blepharoplasty (and ptosis repair reversal)

Question

I had ptosis repair 5weeks ago, and after 1 week, I reversed the surgery by removing all the sutures inside my eye. Now, the effect of double eyelid surgery only remains in my eye (also there are thick long wide white hypertrophic scar across my new double eyelid(both eye)) . My problem is, I still have corneal astigmatism(-2, -1.75 both eye). After corneal topography, my ophthalmologist said my upper corneal is pressed by something. I'm really worried.. What should I do?(remove double eyelid?)

Paul Nazemi, MD · Answer

Eyelid surgery in general can cause some changes in the shape of the cornea.  If you are seeing an ophthalmologist, then you are in good hands.  An in person examination, including examining both sides of the eyelid, can be performed to determine the cause.  The cause would then determine the solution. Keep in mind that you are also relatively early in the post operative healing period.

That's a tough one to address over this medium.  It is possible to have changes in prescription and so on.  You reeeeeally need to talk to your surgeon as well as an oculoplastic surgeon and/ophthalmologist.We can't help you here.Chase Lay MDAsian eyelid surgery specialist.
