"I had my eyes done by a plastic surgeon. I just wanted the droopy upper lids cut back, since they were hideous and wrinkly. . . . The surgeon told me that I needed both "upper and lower" work. I now have dry eyes and the inside of my lower eyelid on one eye is pulled down. What can be done?"
When I hear that a patient is coming in with new-onset flashing lights and floaters, I know that sometimes these symptoms call for a thorough and immediate evaluation.
What to do when something drastic—trauma, chemical burns, foreign-body intrusion, sudden visual loss—happens to your precious eyes.
