Jerry, I had eyelid surgery in August last year and the difference is amazing. My peripheral vision is much wider than before - I can see both hands at once without turning my head if my arms are held out to the sides - and my 'up and down' sight is wider too. In other words, the world is bigger than it has been for many years, so much so that I can't go outside in summer without a hat.

My friend's MIL had it done when she was already 90 or so to help with macular degeneration and it allowed more light into her eyes, which helped what sight she still had.
