Waking up in the morning is easier on Joyce Luebke these days, now that she no longer feels she has to "lift a ton of bricks off each eye to get them open."

Luebke opted for eyelid surgery, performed by the Arizona Eye Institute & Cosmetic Laser Center's Medical Director, Emilio M. Justo, M.D.

BEFORE EYELID SURGERY:

The upper eyelid outpatient surgery was covered by her insurance, she said, and has made a dramatic difference to her lifestyle.

"My eyes used to be red and inflamed because I could never get my eyes all the way open," she said. "When I found out my insurance would cover it, I was pleasantly surprised. I know my peripheral vision was bad, but I didn't realize how bad."

She enjoyed her conversation with Dr. Justo, which did not center around cosmetics - but around her valued vision.

"I love to tell other people, who don't have it done because they are afraid of a cost, that most everyone can get it picked up by insurance these days," she adds. "And I think a lot of people think that the eyelid surgery is just for your looks - but it involves far more about your independence. I actually stopped driving at night because my peripheral vision was so bad.

"I feel more confident now, more independent."
