Title: **Need Dr. Referral in G.R. Mich Pls**
Post by Wendy1 on Jan 2^nd, 2007, 4:55pm

Can anyone help me with a referral to a surgeon/dr. regarding my 'droopy' eye/lid?

I live near Grand Rapids, MI and would prefer to see someone in the area.

Has anyone in this area had this done or what might the opionions be on this subject.

Thanks, Wendy

Toothpicks, Scotch Tape......

I have a slight droop, I think Helen was the only one to really notice it. Are you looking for surgery? Is there a procedure for this?

Wendy, I missed the ^ too. Saper and his team should know someone if it is HA related.

Jeff, you beat me to it. Reminds me of the Mel Gibson movie with him being obsessive cumpulsive when he was tied to a chair with his eyelids taped open. LOL

Wendy, I don't know of any cures to make a muscle work. You can make them not work, but I would not mess with surgery. Give it time. The last thing you want is in 20 years after surgery is not have your eye close when you sleep at night. Just a thought... think 2wise and long term.

I think he was trying to stay awake to see if "you know who" were gonna start another war.

Hi. I have had the operation. My doc is James h. Oestreicher, M.D, F.R.C.S Ophthalmologist Plastic Surgeon. My right eyelid was pretty much closed so he did lazer surgery on it and then the left to even them up. This was done in St. Micheals hospital in Toronto Canada while I was awake. I went home that day and off work for only two weeks. It sure is nice to see properly again with no side effects.

Dr. Bolan is a good doc., but I don't know if he could do what you are looking for (he's a GP). He may be able to recommend someone though. I trust him, he is the one to tell me I had clusters, after about 6 years and 12 different docs. I would trust him with my life (wait....I think I kinda do). I know I owe him big time. It wouldn't hurt to give him a call.
