Why Blepharoplasty By Carol Bangle
Why Blepharoplasty?
By Carol Bangle
“I have eye surgery scheduled for tomorrow. It is not an emergency, I am not in pain, and my vision is clear and I am seeing 20/25 with both eyes. Why would anyone willing schedule surgery in the above circumstances?”
“I cannot see if I don’t raise my eyebrows and wrinkle my forehead. My eyelids so droop, that it pushes my lashes in my eyes and they are always red and irritated. They tear constantly. At the end of each work day I have a headache from struggling to see my computer screen. If I don’t try to widen my eyes, I can only see the lower field of vision, nothing above me. At night it is hard to get enough light to see what I need to do. In the morning I wake with my lids covering my pupil and it takes an hour for the swelling to go down enough to see.”
“I have known for years that I needed surgery. I have worked for ophthalmologists for 25 years. I had to get beyond thinking of it as vision correction surgery.”
“Since I have scheduled surgery and tell everyone what I am doing, so many people have said “I need to have it too.” What is so surprising to everyone, my insurance is paying for the doctor, anesthesia and the abulatory surgery center. Not only do I think surgery is necessary, insurance companies also think of it as needed when your visual fields are so impaired.”
