Dry eyes: Before you undergo the double eye lid surgery which seems like the upper and lower lid surgeyr. Make sure you have good quality tears, so that you do not end up with dry eye syptoms for your age the tear quality is likely to be good. Of course with any surgery the infection is a possibility. Good luck to you.
