Extremely Sensitive Eyes Post- Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty

May 31, 2011
Asked By:AussieChick2011 in Queensland, Australia

I'm 5 weeks post upper and lower blepharoplasty. There is still swelling and general tightness and my eyes are extremely sensitive to light. My eyes feel dry and gritty and get very red, sore and tired, with often blurred vision. I massage them, use drops, rest them and wear sunglasses. What else can I do to improve this discomfort? Is it possible that my eyes have been damaged? Thanks
