What Can Be Causing a Foreign Body Sensation After Blephorplasty?

January 6, 2013
Asked By:Izslp

Dearest Doctors, Dad is 65yo. He had upper and lower bleph approx a year ago without complications and seemed to heal well. However, over the last few months, he is complaining of a foreign body sensation inside outer corner of upper lid. Like something is "rubbing" the eye. Surgeon insists "there is nothing there." She suggests compresses to the area and tears to lubricate. This is of no help. His eye is always red and swollen; he is constantly rubbing it. Any insight ?? What to do? TIA!!
