Question: My
friend recently had cataract surgery and her eyelid closes and thins out, like
she can’t keep it opened. Is it normal? Can she have surgery to fix it?
Answer: What you are describing might be
due to some residual swelling in the eyelid from the speculum used during the
cataract surgery, or it could be a slight ptosis or droopy lid caused by the
speculum-difficult to say but worth scheduling a visit to the cataract surgeon
who performed the procedure and bringing it to his or her attention to see what
the exact cause is and what can be done.
