I had an upper bleph 19 days ago, and one eye is healing quite well. The other eye has not closed since the day of surgery. There is approximately 2-3mm of scleral show from the middle to the inner corner of my eye, watery, dry, and feels irritated. Already taking all lubrication measures. I know it is early, but since swelling is nearly gone, can you tell from this photo whether too much skin was excised? What other reason could there be for this problem in only one eye?
