I suffered for years trying to see. Dr. Bassin did a fantastic job. My left eye bulged, and watered so much I couldn't see, due to a thyroid condition. I had to stop reading, gardening, even driving and wipe my eyes before continuing. Dr Bassin did a upper lid levator/muller's muscle resection with a lower lid hard palate graft. It has been wonderful! I can see now, and have stopped tripping over things and yes, even running into walls. My eye doesn't water anymore, and for the first time in years, I can wear mascara! Thank you so much. I have a very good life now.
I'm so sorry you suffered for many years but what a wonderful story to hear how happy you are now! Was it a long process to determine your surgery needs? How was your recovery? Do you feel more symmetrical now? We'd love to see any pictures you're comfortable sharing. Congratulations and thank you for sharing with us on RealSelf!
