Hi Karen,
I too have weight, have since Oct 2011, and I feel mine protrudes and keeps my eye from opening all the way also..my eyebrow also doesn't move,, I have asked about having weight removed and was told I could or could try one half as thick as this one ,,, haven't looked into it yet tho.
At support group meeting recently,I met a lady who had hers replaced with a platinum weight as that is a denser metal so weight does not have to be so thick to do same job,, then she found out about a weight that you just adhere/ tape to the outside of lid,, I thought that was cool too .. She says it is a prescription Dr. Gave her and she gets several at a time .. Her husband is a jeweler and he has made her a platinum one that she uses now, she looks great and even had it covered with eye shadow!
So there are options out there, I intend to look into it with an Ophthalmologist I guess,,, will let you know what I find out,,keep us informed as to what you decide to do also,,, info is empowering,, good luck,, Jane
