I had Fasanella-Servat procedure done on one eye 23 days ago. The surgeon said the stitches will take 2 months to dissolve. I feel some irritation when I close my eyelids and look up. It feels as if something is scratching my eye/cornea. Is this caused by the sutures? When will it go away? I also have double vision in that eye, which sometimes gets blurry. Could this vision problem be caused by corneal abrasion due to sutures? Will it get cured by itself?

Postoperative swelling can last even longer than the usual 2 week period. Furthermore fat transfer survival is between 40-60% and overfilling is the rule rather than the exception.
The suture may be the cause of your irritation and once the swelling as subsided a bit more, it maybe possible...
What you are considering is appropriate. An ophthalmologist is a good start. An oculoplastics surgeon would be even better. ASOPRS.org is an excellent resource for you. Thyroid Eye Disease is a possibility. I would recommend taking old photos, preferably portrait size/quality for comparison...
From your description it is not possible to determine what exactly is going on. Please submit a photograph to this forum. You will be more likely to get some suggestions.
