How Long with Ptosis Last After Eye Trauma?

Steph.Questions
Last Wednesday night something flew into my eye when weed wacking. I went to the eye doctor Thursday because my eye was drooping. It was examined my vision was normal and there was nothing in the eye and no scratches. Sent home to do cold artificial tears for a day. I have still been doing them and putting ice packs on and I have had no improvement. I personally think its worse. Will this improve and is there anything else I can do at home, or should I go back to the eye dr?
