I had this stye or chalazion 6 months ago and I think it still live in my upper left eyelid. This afternoon I went to a opthalmologist to seek for an advice on how to get rid of it. According to him, my ayes are normal and the uneven eyelid that i have was normal from birth. I doubt his opinion because before having a stye I used to have a normal even eyelid. Can someone please help me on this one. Do I have to wait for couple of months before going to an expert again?
