I am a 32 year old woman with bpes. I just found out that the ovarian

problems I have been having over the last 3 years is because of the

bpes. I have had so much testing, and to think it is linked to

something I have had since birth. I found out myself by reading on

the internet and brought this information to my doctor.

I was diagnosed when I was about 3 weeks old. My mother noticed I

would not open my eyes until I was in a dark room. I had 2 surguries

one when I was 4 and another when I was 5 years old. Dr. Burns

out of columbus ohio did the surguries. He placed leg muscles from a

muscle donor into my eyelids. I was told that I had one of the 1st

truly sucsessful surguries. His phone number is 614-221-7464 and he

is a Oculoplastic surgian. I will place pictures of before and after

for new parents to see. I still have some problems due to bpes, like

the sensitivity to light. It bothers me terribly and I can not leave

my house without sunglasses even on dreary days. I also have a

problem with eyelashes growing into the inner corners of my eyes,

causing irritation. One of my eye doctors taught me to pluck them

out, which helps a lot. It also helps to use a ointment in the eyes

at night to keep my eyes moist. My eyes come open when I am sleeping

and they can dry out. I hope this info has helped anyone, Michele
