Eye still half-closed after infection. how can i get it back to normal?

Maybe surgery.: It is best to wait a significant time after to make certain that this eyelid position is going to remain. If it does you can have surgery to adjust the eyelid position. One eyelid lower than the other is called ptosis. The surgery is a ptosis repair. It is usually done outpatient and has a quick recovery.
