The operation to correct my upper eye lids seem to have gone well but only today my right eye mainly keeps watering eye lis quite swollen and very itchy left one isn't as bad.... seems strange that i have eye ointment chloramphenicol ... It states that can make eyes blurry for a little while but this is really uncomfortable now I'm putting a cool pack over my eyes twice daily and bathing them the same should i continue with this and stop using this ointment ....??
