One of my eyes doesn't open all the way. Any suggestions? (photos)

Question

I know this sounds strange but I had a really bad case of conjunctivitis about 7 years ago. Ever since then in photos one of my eyes doesn't naturally open as far as the other one. Is there anything that can be done for this? How much would that cost to fix?

Hello,I recommend that you see a board certified Plastic Surgeon for an in-person evaluation and discuss surgical options. Prices will range between practitioners and locations and depend on the method you choose.All the best

Thank you for sharing your question. It probably is a coincidence that you have ptosis (droopy eyelid) following conjunctivitis. There are several techniques to repair the ptosis. Oculoplastic Surgeons specialize in the treatment of this condition. You should make an appointment for comprehensive evaluation and discussion of planned treatment and cost. Good luck,

Chris Thiagarajah, MD · Answer

It seems you may have ptosis of your eyelids. Most likely not related to conjunctivitis. Cost for repair is anywhere from 2000 to 3000 dollars depending on what needs to be done.
