Eye issues
« on: January 11, 2016, 09:29:26 pm »
I had a tarsography on my left eye 11 months ago and now they want to put a gold weight as well, any thoughts is this normal?

if your eye doesn't close, absolutely go for it. I would suggest a platinum weight as it will be less visible, the chain is even better, as it is flatter.  Also, to protect your cornea, I suggest a scleral lens, which has been a life saver for me.  Dr. Kenneth Maller, Ft Lauderdale, FL,  is amazing with this lens.
Always good thoughts...

I couldn't agree more with NancyAnn!  I had my eye closed for 13 mos., but opened it to try a scleral lens.  I had a weight put in the lid also.  It was life-changing to use my eye again!  Best of luck to you!
