PATERSON, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — A jury has started deliberating the case of a woman who says she can’t close her eyes, even when she sleeps.
She’s blaming an eyelid procedure gone badly, reports CBS 2’s Christine Sloan.
Marilyn Leisz showed Sloan her dilemma.
“That’s how it is when I sleep. That’s how it is 24-7, 365 days a year,” Leisz said.
Leisz said she went to a Bergen County plastic surgeon to correct bumps on her eyelids from a cosmetic procedure performed by another doctor — and now she can’t fully close her eyes.

“I can close my eyes like this, but to blink I really have to really squeeze my eyes to … fully close my eyes,” Leisz said.
The married mother of two from Bloomingdale was in court Tuesday suing Dr. Paul Parker for negligence. During a break, Sloan asked Dr. Parker and his attorney for comment. They both declined.
But in court, his attorney told the jury Leisz was warned of the risks and that she never complained after the 2005 eyelid surgery called a blepharoplasty.
“This patient was given information about those risks,” the attorney said.
Leisz disagrees. Her attorney played the opinion of another doctor who said she wasn’t a good candidate for this surgery because she had had too many other procedures.
“He should have been honest with me and told me I was not a candidate and suggested other options for me,” Leisz said.
Leisz said she has to use gel at night and a vaporizer so she doesn’t scratch her eyes. She also says she’s losing her vision and lives in fear 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.
Leisz admitted to having multiple other procedures before going to Dr. Parker, but said she may be able to correct the problem but she’s afraid to go under the knife.
Leisz is asking the jury, which started deliberations, for an unspecified amount of money. The will be back in court Wednesday.
LOL Doe-eyed is one thing, crazed maniac is another.
Where else but in America can you be born a poor black boy and die a rich white woman?

No, it's gone "bad" NOT "badly". Intransitive verbs of state or being take the predicative nominative. Only hire Catholic school graduates as copy editors.
I had a similar—if not identical—operation; I see one of the posters referred to it as a “blepharoplasty” but I don’t recall it being called that. Anyhow, I went to a highly-recommended surgeon who specialized in such operations. The operation was a bit scary since it has to be done when you are awake to gradually cut just enough skin over your eyes but the outcome was great. I look much more awake and I can actually see the visor in my car as I drive along.
If you want this done and it is often covered by insurance, be sure you do some investigation on the surgeon first. Most important. Otherwise, you may end up like this lady.
Discounting everything else I know about that power hungry globalist, that picture alone disqualifies him from the White House.
Ma'am, in my case it wasn't done for egotistical reasons. After undergoing required tests that proved that I did not see nearly as well as I could, the operation was done (see my post above).
And you're wrong about it "never looks good." My outcome and that of others operated on by this surgeon were very, very good. And since she operated very slowly and checked each time she trimmed out a little eyelid it is highly doubtful that she would take too much and give the patient a "staring look."

LOL! Luv it. You go boy!
As most know I dumped Obama Tv but I listen to Hannity on the radio once in a blue moon. This serial adulterer mentions “callista” name in every interview at least 3 times.
What is the saying - “no fool like an old fool.” Considering she is like 40 years younger than him - she is not aging too well.
Now THERE’S a “dear in the headlights” look for ya!
Is that Newt’s squeeze? Or some “other woman”?
Trying to look youthful at all costs. They almost always have a bottled water. Too bad these docs to not have a database of freaks and problem patients. She was a serial plastic surgery nit wit.
