My doctor has repositioned both eyes and brushed out the wrinkles of both eye a few times. They added plugs to my eye drains to keep them wetter. I am getting very futrated with the pain and the double vision. They seem to fix the flap and it wrinkles with in a day or two.
Any suggestions???

If your wrinkles come back you may want to discuss the possibility of suturing your flaps with your doctor.
The epithelial cells can actually 'set' your wrinkles in place. Some surgeons remove the epithelial layer, lift and stretch, suture, and give you a bandage contact lens.
Discuss options with several doctors if the first doctor isn't straightening out those flaps.

Flap sutures are an excellent option for cases of flap striae that do not resolve with flap lifts or stretches. As well, eye pain is often related to dry eye, so ask about Restasis.
