Hi, Al,
You've wandered into our small public Fuchs' message board instead of
the huge private one. But never fear, answers are here! LOL!

None of the 500 or so Fuchies I've heard from ever mentioned having
their eyes taped at night, but JMAN once said he had a disease that
they used to call baby doll eyes, where the eyelid doesn't close all
the way when sleeping, so the eye tends to dry out. He used some type
of gel liquid tears to counteract it.

Someone else in the group mentioned that their eyes didn't close
tight when they were sleeping, but I can't remember who it was. Post
your question over at Fuchs' Friends and you'll probably get more
answers.
