Marcus Gunn jaw winking syndrome

[TheFalloutBeauty]

I have it as well! I've had it for 15 years now and I've been picked on for it ever since the first day of kindergarten. I am so self conscious that I try not to eat where others (besides friends) can see me and I don't chew gum in front of other people. It really sucks but I'm glad I have other people in this world that have it too and that I'm not alone. Thank you! You made my day better.

I have it in my left eye as well. I'll post a video! So many people come up to me saying what's wrong with your eye? Haha I'm so glad I found somebody.

Nikki 35yrs Left eye .There is a surgery to help with the drooping of the eye. It's called a Bi-lateral sling. Check out Dr.Nicholas Iliff (no joke thats his name)Johns Hopkins Wilmers Eye Inst. He did my surgery in 1979. I was his 1st patient with Marcus Gunn ,at the time there were no surgeries so he came up with one. It worked great on the drooping & the winking decreases. Its a correction not a cure though and the surgery must be repeated every so often bcuz the sling looses it's elasticity.

I have it in my right eye. Pretty much like you. Eating in public is always interesting (hated eating lunch when I when in school) & I can't stand being stared at. I've even had men think I was flirting (winking) with them... lol. Oh well, what can you do? Such as life....
