I had LASIK eye surgery on Friday evening. ~24 hours later my upper lid on one eye (I had treatment on both eyes) became a bit swollen & it still is today (Wednesday/5 days later). It's not really dramatic but enough to make my eyes look uneven.

Swollen lid feels a bit heavy but otherwise my eyes feel fine.
