Title: Eyelid implant follow-up
Post by: saralynn143 on December 22, 2008, 02:03:30 pm

I posted this under LA David's weekly review, but thought I'd post here as well. I saw Dr. Custer today for a follow-up to my eyelid implant surgery last August. Fortunately, my vision is still good under all that Refresh PM ointment. My eye is a little dry -- that's to be expected this time of year -- but he wants me to run a vaporizer or humidifier in my office and bedroom. Dr. Custer says my eye drifts shut all the way, though it takes a little time. I am supposed to try to train myself to shut my eyes completely once a minute since my blink is just not there. Then he cut me loose for another four months, unless I develop any problems.

Merry Christmas and Ho Ho Ho,
Sara

Sara-

Thanks for posting - it sounds like good news overall.  Let's hope we both get our blink back in '09!  (Did I actually say that?)  Ho Ho Ho!
