the importance of the eyelid

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!

 

Uurrgh, Thats horrible. My chicken had a spare pair of eyelids, just in case.

 

So does my cat.

 

Well, yes, I think all of my skin is important, I'm not about to have any chopped off that's for sure!!:D
