Help! My left eye seems now permanently half closed as if I'm squinting all the time. Any quick remedies??


Question: In the last few days I have had extreme exposure to the sun and I know it is due to this. It seems as if just above my eye is swollen. Also, I need this to be fixied in about 24 hours!
Answers: When I had swelling around my eyes, my PRK surgeon told me to use ice packs (frozen peas or corn), or to put a wet washrag in a baggie in the fridge for a couple of hours and then use that.

Since this happened after extreme sun exposure, I would be seen...not necessarily your eye doctor...your family doctor can help treat this and if they think it is too serious, they will refer you on to an optometrist or ophthalmologist in the appropriate specialty.

The sun is not good on the eyes, but for the immediate assistance, ice/cold packs are good until you can get in to be seen.

I would not be surprised, though, if you cannot get 100% resolution in 24 hours...just based on the fact that you are relating it to excessive sun exposure (just think of sunburns).

Good luck!
My first quick remedy would be to soak some tea bags in water, then put them over your eyes. If this does not work, then try going to a General Practioneer or the ER.
Hang on! I'll punch your good eye so you will have a matching pair!
Cold packs on to the eye should reduce your periorbital edema.
sleep.
Get yourself to your doctor or an optometrist without delay and get a real diagnosis. Don't mess about with your eyes, seek expert advice and don't play around with fancy remedies.
It could have been caused by exposure to the sun, on the other hand it may be a weaknes in the muscles of the upper eyelid. Check it out.
