Woke up with droopy eyelid (Photo)

Question

This is freaking me out. I woke up about 3 hours ago and my eye felt a little odd. I looked in the mirror and bam! One eye is smaller. No redness or tenderness either. I am 23, no contact lenses, no trauma. I am scared it will be like this forever! I also have always had perfect vision. My eye feels strange but doesn’t hurt or sting or anything. Thanks!!

This could be something as simple as a little swelling in the lid for a variety of reasons. However, since this is new and is concerning, I'd recommend seeing an Ophthalmologist for an evaluation.Andrew Campbell, M.D.

If this is indeed a completely new finding out of the blue, this needs to be evaluated. Step one would be to see your doctor for an initial evaluation and referral if necessary.
