I'm wondering if anyone ever heard of knows someone who was born with ptosis?
ptosis means that the muscles in the eyelids dont work and the person cannot open the eyes (just a little bit)
my son was born with it on both eyes and he had a couple of surgeries to fix it. his eyes are b"h nice and open now but the place where they did the stitches on top of the eyebrows is not healing, it's already 7 months since his last surgery and it keeps on getting infected.
please let me know if u have any info about it!!
