I acquired irregular corneal astigmatism of -0.75 after ptosis repair & double eyelid surgery. Actually I reversed the surgery by removing all the sutures inside my eye after 5 days post-op, but still tight new double eyelid remains in my eye , and also there are thick long scar tissues across my eyelid. (I can feel thick long lump inside my eyelid under&near incision area) (It's 5.5 weeks post-op now)
Three of 5mm incision was done when my surgeon removed all the sutures, and new double eyelid seems like formed because of that incision areas.
My pre-op vision was really good. It was 20/20 with no astigmatism.
Now, my vision got awful and cant see(focus) letters on book or computer without very severe eye strain. Every light on night goes up a lot and I see three moons above the sky. Eyeglasses doesn't fix the issue perfectly.
I went to see ophthalmolost and he said my upper cornea got pressed by some tight thing(probably tight eyelid adhesion) (I did corneal topography).
My surgeon just refuse to admit his fault.. He's keep saying that "it cannot be happen. Probably it's not from surgery". But it cannot make any sense. I lived 22 years with really great eye and I was able to do over 10 hours of computer programming with small letter in dark room with dark background pre-op.
I'm really worried, depressed and lost lots of motivations.. I am not sure why this happened (what can be cause: 1. Thick long scar? 2. Tight double eyelid adhesion? 3. increased pressure from eyelid as new double fold eyelid formed?) and can the changed corneal curvature be restored after a long time (1~3years) when the external pressure pressing my cornea got removed as adhesion got weaker or removed (new double eyelid removed).
Please help me..
By the way, I'm asian and I had no double eyelid before.
(I found that people with chalazion also suffers with induced astigmatism like me. So my last question also can be 'Assume someone acquired induced corneal astigmatism after having chalazion on eyelid. Can the changed corneal curvature restored(corneal astigmatism disappear) if someone removes chalazion after 1~3 years it appeared? How elastic is cornea?')
Please help me.. I'm having a really hard time now.. Thanks
