Why Has my Vision Deteriorated After Eyelid Surgery?

Fairlee
I had an incision at the top of each eyelid and the muscle was reattached to open the lid further. 6 months later my vision is awful. My optometrist thinks that the change in eyelid posistion has caused the corneas to change shape and they continue to do so. I have had multiple lense changes both in type and prescription. I wore gas perms with only minor changes for 40 years.I now have a toric lense in the left eye that does not work and none in the right in hopes it will stabilize.Any ideas?
