Guest guest Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Hi, My name is Melisa. I have a 24 year old son with blepharophimosis. He had his first surgery at age 4 months and his second one at age 6 months. Before the surgeries, he could not sit up well and balance himself because he was constantly tilting his head back to see out of his eyes. He later had another surgery at age 2 but that was to try and correct a lazy eye. His father had ptosis of the eyelid and ended up with over 14 surgeries which from the sounds of it may have been experimenting some on the doctor's part. My son still has sort of a slanty eyed look but he is able to see. My ex-husband went on to have another son in another marriage but that child did not have any eye problems. My son's father was one of 4 children but the only one with the eye problem. What exactly are the odds or percentages of my son passing on this syndrome to his children?
