Eye Irritation Following Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty?

April 18, 2013
Asked By:Lisa_Jane in Washington, DC Metro area

I had upper and lower blepharoplasty on April 12th. It is April 18th and I am progressing with some bruising and swelling, but the eye irritation is bugging me the most. When does the eye irritation generally go away? I work on a computer and I like to read. I am using ice packs on my eyes but the irritation lingers. Thanks!
