Concern after chalazion removal in upper left eyelid 3 days ago. Are these symptoms normal or to be expected?

March 8, 2019
Asked By:Meg05 in Bogotá, CO

The area of the eyelid is quite swollen but what worries me it's a subconjunctival hemorrhage that keeps growing wider, the constant secretion of yellow eye boogers and blurry vision from the same eye, (I can barely see from distance now). Are these symptoms consired normal or to be expected after such procedure? The reason for me to be concerned is the lack of assurance and care from the ophthalmologist who performed my procedure and the fact that she was chosen by my insurance
