  • Surgery on Eye Muscles

    Does anyone know about procedures that involve surgery of the eye muscles? For example, a surgery that would strengthen the Müller muscle or the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, or perhaps the muscles involved with raising the lower eyelid (which I do not know the name of).

    There's such little information out there on this, and I'm beginning to wonder if a procedure which strengthens my eye muscles is the best approach, rather than getting spacer grafts to make the eye physically smaller so the muscles have to do less work.

    My main concern is that even if the eyes are physically smaller and therefore close properly, they still require a strong, firm closure in order for oils to be excreted, and without the stronger muscles, the oil might still not get out.

    Note 2 things:
    1. I have lagophthalmos
    2. Blinking exercises are not enough
