I used Dr Alan Lessner (Ocala Eye). Local visits were in The Villages, surgery was in Gainseville. I was awake for the procedure and that was a mistake for me. He ran into complications with a stressed muscle and that shot my blood pressure up which resulted in excess bleeding. He considered aborting the surgery, but completed it. When I got home, I couldn't close my eye for days which made sleeping nearly impossible and dry eye was intensely painful. After 2 weeks, swelling healed and cosmetically the eye looked ok but would NOT close all the way. After about 8 months, the surgery let go and the eyelid drooped back to its original state but I still have a dry eye condition that I never had before. It's good to see that so many others had success but I've given up and decided that eyelid droop is better than the alternative. My vision is impacted in the drooped eye, but only when looking upwards.
