My name is Kerry Cole.  Three weeks ago (10-16-20), I had surgery to fix stark ptosis.  Unbeknownst to me, over the years my peripheral vision had been severely impaired.  I was directed to the Moran Eye Center where I met with Dr. Patel for consultation.  During that conference Dr. Patel described the problems associated with ptosis, and how these obstructions could be corrected with surgery.  He then took the time to explain different procedures that surgeons use to remove the excess skin during from around the eye.  Dr. Patel said his new procedure follows the normal curves of the face and wrinkles on the forehead which makes the scar lines almost undetectable. I decided to go forward with the surgery.

Immediately after the surgery I noticed a huge difference with my peripheral vision. It seemed to be restored to normal and I noticed that objects around were much brighter.  It has been several weeks since the procedure and all the sutures are gone.  The incision lines on my forehead are already almost non-existent. My wife and family say they can see a dramatic difference in my eyes and face in general.  I want to thank Dr. Patel for taking the time to explain the difference in procedures and performing his procedure which I feel was best for me.  The attached pictures were taken the day my sutures were removed.
