Question 1

please help! i have swollen eyelids problem, what should i do?

Accepted Answer

See ophthalmologist : It's impossible to diagnose what is causing your problem without a complete exam. Please see your doctor for an appointment.

Question 2

how common is ptosis when using purtox? i'm thinking about having some purtox injections done, and i was wondering if ptosis was common with this drug? i don't want to have a drooping eyelid problem while i'm on vacation.

Accepted Answer

Ptosis : Ptosis of the upper lids with any chemodenervation agent is rare. It is more dependent on the injection location than the medication chosen. If any chemodenervation agent, botox, purtox, xeomin (incobotulinumtoxin a) or Dysport is injected and it diffuses into the upper eyelid muscles, you can get ptosis.

Question 3

is it a problem if eyelids don't fully close during sleep?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: If your eyes are irritated and/or red, then this is a problem.  If not, don't worry about it.   Many people tolerate incomplete eyelid closure well.  If you are concerned, see an ophthalmologist who can examine and advise you.

Question 4

can drooping eyelids cause peripheral vision problems?

Accepted Answer

Yes, definitely: Drooping eyelids most often block your upper and side vision.  When this occurs, most insurances will cover surgery to lift the eyelids and remove the excess upper lid skin.  Find an oculoplastic surgeon in your area.

Question 5

sleep problems/drooping eyelids/eye strain?

Accepted Answer

Be more precise: Please give more information about each question so we can answer properly each one.  You can ask several separate questions.

Question 6

my eyelids are puffy and i have uncomfortable back pain.. may this be a serious problem?

Accepted Answer

Kidney disease?: I would suggest a trip to your family doc for some blood tests to rule out kidney disease.

Question 7

my eyelid is swollen and hurts has been that way for 2 days now. this seems to be a chronic problem. why is that?

Accepted Answer

Meibominitis: It sounds like you are suffering from meibominitis which can lead to a swollen tender lid. Try warm compresses and gentile massage. If it worsens or you see no improvement see your ophthalmologist for definitive diagnosis and treatment.

Question 8

i got refined coconut oil onto my eyelids and eyelashes.may it cause any problems?

Accepted Answer

Rinse your eyelids: I would recommend that you clean your lids and lashes carefully.  This can be easily accomplished by diluting baby shampoo, 1 teaspoon shampoo to five teaspoons water.  Did a q tip in the diluted baby shampoo and gently scrub the lashes and external lid margin.  Then rinse with warm water or wipe away with a warm washcloth.  You will be just fine.

Question 9

is it bad when a stye bursts inside your eyelid and what is the solution to the problem?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: This is most likely a chalazion, which is different from a stye in that it is not an infection, but a backed up oil gland.  In either case, the eye can be gently rinsed out and treated with a hot compress.
