 Q&A | Eyelid Surgery : Dry Eye Syndrome

Name: Morgana Title of Question: Dry Eye Syndrome
Question: I am considering having my lower eye lids fixed. I also have been diagnosed with dry eye syndrome (DES). Will the surgery affect my DES - ie. Will it make it worse? I've heard conflicting reports. If anybody can understand my problem, any info and advise would be appreciated.

Name: Gwen | Date: September 2, 2004 |
Answer: I know this exact scenario. I also have DES and was reassured by the surgeon that it would not be a problem. That bastard was a liar. After Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty was performed, I noticed that my eyes were even more dry in the coming months. Eventually I had to get more surgery performed on my eyeducts to repair the DES. It was a very frustrating period in my life.

Answer: You should NOT undergo cosmetic eyelid surgery until you get your DES fixed or at least greatly improved. You can have surgery done on your tear ducts if the DES is severe.
