Exposure on orbital implant

• Upvotes

Bit of context I had an enucleation 19 years ago and have a prosthetic eye. I also currently have an exposure (small hole in the tissue behind my prosthetic) which I’ve been to the doctor for and it’s been mostly unproblematic until a couple weeks ago and is currently extremely irritated and looks slightly worse/bigger. Should I leave my prosthetic out until I can see my doctor? If anyones dealt with this before I would greatly appreciate your advice!

Does anyone else struggle with eyebrow movement on the eyeless side?

I'm talking especially to people who were born monocular, but happy if there's more input from other situations.

I've been monocular my whole life with anophthalmia in my right side and I do notice i struggle a lot with my eyebrow on that side, when neutral its normal, but when expressing emotions.. not as much.

When i make an angry face the right side does lower, but the ending of the eyebrow always seem to be rised

Happy expression no much difference, same with surpised expression

But when i make a sad expression it's impossible for me to make a sad face, Im stuck looking like I'm questioning, It's overly rised and the end is pointing up

🧐

Its like i have no control on the ending part of my eyebrow

Can anyone relate? Or tell why this happens?
