Скачать или смотреть How to Put On Ptosis Glasses - Pádraig with Optician in Germany (August 2022)

We tried this ourselves a few times, following what we had seen in the specialised shop where we had ordered and fitted Pádraig's ptosis glasses. It never worked as we were trying to lift up one eyelid and then the other onto the little spring-loaded arms fitted to the glasses.
The optician we visited this month knew what he was doing when he lifted both of Pádraig's eyelids with one hand and used the other to position them onto the arms fitted to the glasses.
While Pádraig's eye sight is good, he has trouble lifting the eyelids as his third nerve got damaged during his accident 10 years ago.
Not being able to easily open your eyes and. being able to see what's going on around you is obviously a barrier to participation. But not only that. When people see you with your eyes closed they instinctively believe that you are "asleep" - whether you are or you aren't - and they treat you accordingly.
We only found out about these glasses a few months ago and it took weeks to get them ordered, delivered, and fitted.
It is essential that we learn how to use them. They make a world of a difference to Pádraig's life.
