So my best friend had his first kid earlier this week, it was a boy \o/

Unfortunately there was a rare irregularity, he was born without eyelids. My mate was obviously extremely distressed, but a consultation with a plastics specialist left him and his partner with a decision to make about what to do next. The surgeon proposed a circumcision, and the crafting of eyelids from the skin taken. My mate was initially very dubious about it; he was afraid his son would turn out cock-eyed. The surgeon reassured him that he'd done it before, and that in 95% of the cases cockeyed-ness wasn't a problem, in fact, most patients wound up with amazing foresight.
