WORTH IT
I was born with Congenital Ptosis- mother had a difficult delivery with me- Breach and high forcepts caused nerve damage to right eye. Tendon was stretched in eyelid and had only 50% lid function. Periferal vision blocked and left eye straining to work for both eyes. Driving became difficult and had to compensate on daily activities. With father being a doctor from NY and we had a few visits to plastic surgeons over the years dating back to 1978, but were concerned of the long tern affects of the lid function. We were told the lid may not close, the eye will dry out, etc so I never had surgery. As an adult, I researched again for any new modern techniques. I found Dr. Neufeld, also being from Long Island, NY and when reveiwing his strong credentials- I immediately set up an appointment to see if he could help me. He did a few tests, and went over the best type of surgery for me- Mullerectomy of the eyelid. I did all my research on the procedure and was ready for what I have been waiting for my whole life. He is an amazing doctor- the whole process was perfect- from his staff continually following up on all my calls, concerns, to the post op recovery plan. Very happy with the results- I have full vision of my right eye and I look amazing. No more squinting in the sun and in pictures! I would highly recommend Dr. Neufeld and his staff for any type of Eye procedure.. I had my 2 month post op follow up and everything is perfect- no second surgery needed!!
