Woman Can’t Close Eyes Due To Plastic Surgery

Woman Can't Close Eyes Due To Plastic SurgeryMarilyn Leisz of New Jersey is suing her plastic surgeon for negligence after a procedure left her unable to fully close her eyes. The doctor claims that she was well aware that having to literally sleep with two eyes open was a risk when she agreed to get eyelid surgery.

Leisz told CBS News that she uses gel at night an a vaporizer and is constantly afraid of injuring her eyes. "All the favorite things I used to, like tennis, racquetball, swimming, horseback riding, bike riding, skeet shooting, gardening, I can't do those things," Leisz said. A jury is currently deliberating the case.
