closing eyes after surgery

[Guest guest]

Dear all

Our son Bipin is 11 months now and due his first surgery (Dr Collin at

Moorfields, London) at the end of March. His eyes seem very similar to

Jonah's and, like and , the operation is about making

sure his eyesight develops properly - we'll think about cosmetic

issues at a later stage. One question that has been going round my head for a

while

- Will he be able to close his eyes properly after the operation? My husband

also

has Bleph and had slings as a child. His eyes don't close fully when

he's asleep. Bipin is not a great sleeper (especially at the moment -

teething!) and I am beginning to worry that not being able close his

eyes properly is just going to make it harder.

any experience about this? Is Jonah able to close his eyes?

Thanks!

Tessa
