Asked By:flowers4ever in Atlanta, GA

Upper and lower bleph 4.5 months ago, I've noticed my under eye area has become sunken/ hollow. Causes a shadow under my eyes and makes me look tired. I'm also extremely sensitive to sunlight since the surgery. Having a light blue eyes I have always had some sensitivity but now light is painful & I absolutely cannot go out without my sunglasses at any time. My reading vision has changed significantly for the worse also. Are any or all of these things typical? What can be done about them?
