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

May 1, 2017
Asked By:hope777777 in New York, NY

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 says:

The shape of the outer corner of the eyes can be altered with surgery such as canthoplasty or canthopexy.  There are specific indications for these type of procedures.  See an oculoplastic specialist to learn more about their risk and benefits, as well as the indications for surgery.

Hi Ivanalpp,It will be best to ask your surgeon about this as he/she will be able to explain and correct this better. Should a revision be neccessary in the future, it should not be that complicated.
