What you are experiencing is very normal for this soon post surgery. You have swelling and some of this swelling is actually under the conjunctiva (called chemosis). This is very common and usually subsides after a week. To hasten the recovery, keep your eyes covered with moist, cool gauze and don't over exert your eyes. Allow them to rest and recover from the surgery. You should see your surgeon within the week after surgery. Good luck.
Congratulations on your surgery! What you are experiencing is completely normal and your photos show normal postoperative healing. There are several normal factors that may impact your vision. Swelling of the conjunctiva (chemosis, as you mentioned), ointment used after surgery, the fact that your tearing production and outflow is affected- all impact vision and will slowly improve in the days to weeks after surgery. If the lower lid was tightened there can even be transient pressure on the cornea that can also distort your vision.Follow up with your surgeon and continue all postoperative care guidelines.
