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.
