    Plus, ptosis surgery can’t be reversed and fluctuating symptoms make getting it right extremely difficult. My neuro-opthamologist said it’s more successful for patients with permanent nerve damage (birth defect, trauma, etc.).

    You may want to ask about trying ptosis crutches/ptosis glasses (thin wire bar added to glasses) to help ease eyes open. If you try this, it may take time to fine tune the crutches to apply only the pressure needed to open you eyes and let you blink (at least a little).
