At t 7 he had in both eyes. We put the drops in but for some reaosn it wasnt enough and the corea was damaged. (It was the non ptosis eye. He is 28 and now the drying is very extensive ( he refused to believe he would get worse without drops) and he had a new abrasion. He has very little sight in left eye at this time. The doctor is suggesting he have both lids fixed becaseu they odnt do the take the facia from leg any more becasue so many people had these problesm He di not suggest a corneal speicalst .
