    I was reading an article about a lady that had plastic surgery to remove excess skin from the eyelids.

    Well, too much skin has been taken off and here are the consequences:
    in the day, blinking is impossible so the eyes get dry with constant blurred vision.

    During showers and before bed eyes have to be covered in thick gel.
    In the night a vaporizer has to be kept near by not to let them dry out.
    A mask has to be worn to protect corneas from being scratched.

    So this is how important those two millimitres of eyelids are!

    That's a blinking bad idea.
