A member asked:
For how long will my eye look droopy or swollen after detached retina surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: It can be days or weeks. If it persists beyond 6 months, and is cosmetically or functionally noticeable, then eyelid surgery can be performed to try to improve it.
