I had upper/lower bleph done 10 weeks ago today. I had some dry eye issues in the beginning which got better for awhile. I went to an opthamologist that said I had "reduced tearing" and told me to try drops a couple times a day. He said this should resolve over time - no other issues. He even looked under lid to make sure no stiches left behind. I have tried using 5 diff types of drops but all seem to make my eyes feel more irritated. I wear contacts appx 8 hours a day. I have tried drops for contacts (when in) as well as non-contact drops when wearing glasses. Nothing is helping! My eyes feel sticky, burning and have some red lines that weren't there before bleph. Why is this happening, how long will it last, and what can I do???
I have been having such bad tearing burning pain in my lower eyelids to the top of my cheek,strained vision ,headaches,i usually have my right eye closed as much as possible or wear sun glasses and tape to the lower lid ..I have a suspicion it is ectropion but I am no doctor and I have no insurance and must wait and save for surgery ...what options do I have for pain ?any advice is greatly appreciated...also I worry of permanent damage if I have to wait please share your thoughts
I have had dry and burning sensation in my left eye for several years now. I have complained about this to several optometrists who tell me to use eye drops but they're not helping or solving the problem. This eye is becoming much smaller, noticeably lower and has a deeper tear trough than my right eye. The difference between the 2 eyes wasn't this noticeable 5-10 years ago. I'm wondering if I have enophthalmos or some other issue and should seek treatment from an ocular surgeon?
I've had extreme problems with my eyes since childhood these are my symptoms: Grainy sensation in eyes Teary eyes Debris at upper eyelash root that I have to literally pick through Excessive inner eye discharge Burning eyes Eyelashes falling excessively/strong urge to pull them out because they don't grow straight and will be in my eye Scariest one occurred first in 2012 then 2014. Eyelid retracted and eyeball was sitting out.
Its been 7 days since I had my surgery and there was some bleeding from left eye that started on 5th day, but the doctor said that it happens sometimes and will stop. But right from the 3rd day itself, I am getting this intense burning like someone has put acid in my eyes. It so intense that I am forced to close my eyes and some water comes out from both these eyes. During this burning period, the eyes turn blood red. But the doc says that there is no concern and I should just massage my eyes.
I had upper eye lid surgery 9 months ago, ever since, I can not produce tears when I cry. I get a burning sensation when I cry, sneeze, etc but no tears in either eye. My doctor states that he cant explain it, and not likely come back as my eyes continue to heal. I'm concerned a nerve was nicked during surgery, and my ability to create tears when I cry may never come back. Is this normal? Is there a way to fix this? What direction do I go to get a second opinion? What type of Specialist?
Post-op, my left side had more swelling and bruising than the right. The vision in my left eye is a little blurry, and it's still a little dry. My right eye is also dry, but no blurry vision. I still have swelling in both eyes. My concern is that my left eyelid feels like it's scratching my eyeball, especially when my eye is closed. It also burns a little in the same areas where I feel the scratching, but it is not bloodshot. It's only my left eye that is experiencing problems.
I had lower blepharoplasty performed November 2013 and yes it got rid of my under eye bags. A month into recovery I used a over night eye cream which burned my eye lid so bad it woke me out of my sleep. Looked in the mirror and my lower eyelids was burned literally peeled right off. Lower lids was pink, surgeon told me not too worry he performed a oxygen treatment to my lower lids and my lids came back as you can see in the pictures but with loose skin and Malar festoons.
