H02.5: Other disorders affecting eyelid function
You have an eyelid that has changed.
The eyelids along with the lashes are located above and under the eye. They protect the eye from injuries and drying out. Fat, muscles, and several glands are included in the eyelid, among other things. The glands produce some partly fatty elements for the layer of fluid on the eye.
The change to the eyelid means that there is limited protection for that eye.
