Sunken eye

[mrcasper]

I would like to know a question about a prostethic eye, I will be getting my eye taken out because there is no use for it and all it does is give me pain, I have glaucoma in that eye only, and many surgerys have seemed to make my eye sunkin in and the lid is very droopy, along with not much fat tissue on my bottom eyelid, I even have had eyelift sugery and it still looks droopy, I even have this patch graph on my cornea that turned into a bubble and that was acually the cause of the droopy lid, now when I get a prostethic eye, will it still look sunkin in with a droopy eye? or will it look pretty good and even with the good right eye?

Thank you very much for responding to my question, Im pretty sure my docter is experienced with this type of surgery, he works in Beverly Hills, his name is Dr Massry, he has been on that tv show Dr 90210, you may know him.

Ideally your surgeon is a Eye MD with a subspecialty interest in oculoplastics. They can use a larger implant sphere to try and hike the lid up. Again discuss your concerns with your Eye MD and be sure that Eye MD is experienced with this type of surgery and it making steps to prevent the eye looking smaller than the other eye.

AND take care of the other eye agains injury or disease.
