I had my upper and lower lids done by Dr Nijher at Ocala Plastic Surgery in TV up by Souther Trace plaza. Very happy with both the surgeon and the procedure. It is the only plastic surgery I have had and am very glad I did it.
I would also recommend Permenant make up (eye brows for sure) by Cindy in TV.

I had it done at Ocala Eye, which I would recommend.

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.

This is an honest question about how you looked after the surgery. I am very seriously contemplating having it. However, I’m so afraid of looking scary. I never really had an eyelid showing, always had a hooded eye. Of course now drooping a lot more. I’m afraid it might look fake as scary. Any thoughts from those who had it done.

Are you are it wasn’t Doctor Kim at Ocala Eye? I go to Dr. Armstrong for my eye care and when I needed this surgery she referred me to Dr. Kim in their practice who is an Ocular Plastic Surgeon. I am happy with my outcome.

Sorry I live in Desoto and I love it. Didn’t you do research on the area before you purchased Your home?

I just had this done by Dr. Sarah Kim at Ocala Eye. Surgery was done at their surgery center in Ocala. The whole procedure was done in about an hour. I have gone from having 40% of my normal field of vision to 100%. Would highly recommend having it done by Dr. Kim.

I had Dr. Kim at Ocala Eye last year and a friend of mine had her also. You have black and blue around your eyes for a week or so but it is worth it. No pain whatsoever. Ocala Eye is very good about submitting and getting it covered. $150 total for the surgery center is the total we had to pay. That is with United Healthcare The Villages plan. We are both delighted with the outcome! Make your appointment and do it.

My wife had Dr. Ireland at St. Luke’s do the droopy eye surgery and and my wife looked 10 years younger and could see a lot better. Medicare covers the cost if you fail the eye test they give you.

Dr. Goldey did my eyelids and she did a great job. My was medically necessary.

I am a firm believer in "recommendations" vs "advertisement and have gone to "Talk of The Villages" many times for referrals and or opinions and greatly appreciate any and all advice.

Was wondering if anyone has had this done and who you might recommend.

As always very much appreciate your help

Had mine done 15 years ago with Ocala Eye. What a difference it made both in vision and looks. Highly recommend. Don’t let the be awake scare you, you can’t feel a thing

I did have this done for reasons that it was obstructing my sight. I researched and found that St. Lukes with a site in Sumter Landing is the best for any eye problems.

I had it done about 6 years ago by Dr Terpstra at Lake Eye. She is still there and I still see her annually for an eye exam. My eye lids look great and my field of vision improved so much I didn't realize how much it effected my vision. I took the test before and after and had to ask if it was the same test. I now can see the ceiling when looking straight ahead and side vision is amazing. My health insurance covered it, had both eyes done at the same time. Took about a week for swelling to go down and a month before the scars weren't visible anymore. Your spouse should definitely have it done. Check out Dr. TERPSTRA at Lake Eye. She is very matter of fact, straight forward in telling you what to expect and does a great job.

I used Dr. Stacey at Mid Florida eye and she was wonderful
I highly recomend She is at Mid Florida Eye on 441.
