Hi Anonymous,

Has this been an issue all of your life?
Ablepharia is the Congenital absence of or reduction in the size of the eyelids. This could apply to one or both eyelids. However, if this isn't something that you've had since birth, then has your doctor looked into it further? Perhaps nerve damage?

Please keep us posted,

Rosa
