doc said my eyes are fused with tissue from side of lid-likely from birth?
The eye does move normally, doc said it was a symblepharon? In both eyes since birth assumedly, I also have congenital cataracts so now I’m just worried about some terrible genetic issue causing both but at the same time I’m 25 and healthy, does this finding warrant a genetics workup?
No, if you had some bad genetic disease it should be apparent by now. A symblepharon is just s scar on the conjunctiva, could be from your previous surgeries
Okay, the right eye actually was never operated on but I just seen a couple friends have the same thing in the same places! Maybe it’s not a symblepharon? Or maybe they just aren’t uncommon in very tiny capacities? I don’t know.
