Yeah, I know.
However it's potentially linked with the obstructive sleep apnea I also have been diagnosed with and the consultant wants to try a few things first before resorting to surgery.

How are your eyes linked to it?
I'd have thought it'd be more your oesophagus and lungs

It can be linked to weight gain
and smoking. I have put on a bit of weight over the last year or so, and this corresponds roughly with when I started having the eyelid problems; the sleep apnea can cause weight gain and FES is often the result of putting on some weight.

I thought the consultant was taking the piss (it was April 1st, too) but i've since read up a bit and no, he isn't. So the first stage is to try and get a bit of weight off and stop smoking. Sometimes the condition can reverse itself, hence the reluctance to do a surgical procedure until other avenues are explored.
