Facial Paralysis after GK ???

<< < (7/7)

LakeErie:
Just to be clear, my incomplete eyelid closure is not just at night, nor is it complete. My eye doctor estimates it 1 mm, which is not enough to cause exposure keratitis which I quickly developed when the lid would not stay closed. I could close my eye but it would not stay closed. Lagophthalmous is used to denote incomplete lid closure. If it did become a problem I am advised simple lid surgery can correct the problem as it is so minor at 1 or 2 mm's., no gold or platinum weight is necessary.
UPMC ( Univ of  Pittsburgh Medical Center ) has a Facial Paralysis Center that also treats synkinesis. UPMC installed the first GK in the US and has treated the most AN's so it is familiar with complications from GK treatment. It is a short drive for me so it is available if I need it.
