9.14.20 Update

 

We had an annual check-up in August. Everything looks good. His lid is not drooping more than in the past, and his vision is not impaired. The only issue is that my som, now 12 years old, feels that it takes a lot of work for him to open his eye wide enough to feel comfortable. I thought that maybe he was just being more self-conscious about his appearance given he is almost a teenager, but the doctor felt that his field of vision, although not technically impairing, may be smaller than ideal; thus he feels ‘closed off’. There may be good reason to lift the lid again to open his field of vision. We are going to schedule a virtual appointment with his surgeon (since we live out of state from his doctor) to discuss this further. I will keep you posted.
