Suggest Remedy To Enable To Use The Right Eye
My mother suffered from a brain tumor in hipofise. When it got surgically removed, the right eye lid nerve got damaged, hence her eyelid can't open. Is there an available procedure that she can undergo to reconstruct that nerve and enable her to use the right eye again?
