I just wanted to know how many people here are told that lagophthalmos may have caused their dry eye. I have been told by numerous doctors that my upper eyelids do not touch the lowers, therefore my sclera is exposed all night (just started wearing tranquileyes), and all day (even during regular blinking).
I am considering seeing a specialist to push up the lower eyelid, but I wanted to know how many how had this procedure done (along with tarsorrhaphy) and if it helped with their dry eye. Also, do most people with dry eye have lagophthalmos (what percentage), and if so, why don't more consider the surgery?
My full story has already been posted but I decided to pose these questions here since more people tend to come to the open forum.
Thanks
