How do I fix droopy eyelid after steroid shot for iritis?

February 13, 2018
Asked By:amandapalmieri in Austin, TX

Last year I suffered from Iritis. I was given Durezol and a steroid injection to the eye. Iritis is now in remission but I was left with high intraocular pressure (glaucoma) induced by the steroids. I have been using Combigan on and off for about 4 months. I also developed a droopy eyelid after the steroid injection. Ophthalmologist says both the high iop and droopy eye will go away over time. I'm feeling desperate as it's been 6 months. How can I cure my droopy eye it without surgery?Thank you.
