Patient Question: I had been wearing contact lenses for several years. But in November 2011, I felt uncomfortable with my eyes, and slowly started to blink and open my lower eyelids, sometimes I had to frown a lot to open them, but it didn’t last long, and sometimes I had to use my hands to open them. I’ve taken medication and acupuncture, but to no avail. I hope I can get a cure. Doctor’s reply: You can come to the hospital for surgical treatment. Patient Question: How much does the surgery cost? Doctor’s reply: About 40,000-50,000 for pure nucleus destruction and about 250,000-260,000 for DBS.
