You definitely need to see an oculoplastic specialist for evaluation. There are many causes of eye proptosis (bulging eye). See video below.
Sudden increase in the size of an eyeball (eg. over the last 6 months) should be evaluated as soon as possible by an ophtalmologist. Medical conditions of the eye like glaucoma ( elevated blood pressure of the eye) must be rule out. Glaucoma of the eyeball could present without pain. Glaucoma is dangerous since it could affect the vision of the eye. Patients with any asymmetry of the eyes must be evaluated first by an ophthalmologist to confirm the eyeball (and vision) itself is not affected, before studying any other causes of asymmetry (like ptosis, etc)
Thank you for sharing your question and photos. In one photo you appear to have ptosis (drooping), but in the other photo you appear to have retraction (pulled up eyelid). See an Oculoplastic Surgeon for comprehensive evaluation and discussion of treatment options.Good luck,
This looks like swelling and some patients have more than others post-op. Best of luck with your results.
Without pictures, though based on your description, it seems you may have ptosis. This is a common problem and one in which there are treatment options. I suggest meeting in-person with an ophthalmic plastic surgeon for an an evaluation. Best wishes!Karen Singer, M.D., P.A.Harvard GraduateBoard ...
The answer depends on exactly your eyelid problem, it extent, anatomy, etc. Steroid shots do take time to work but they only so much. See an oculoplastic specialist for experience in revision eyelid surgery.
