Can pink eye cause droopy eyelid?
NOV 16, 2014
Question:
I recently got pink eye and have had it for eight days now. It is starting to go away, but I noticed my eyelid on my right eye is droopy. Will this go away when the pink eye clears and are the two related
Answer:
I am assuming the pink eye is in the left eye or both eyes. Perhaps you have a bit of the conjunctivitis in both eyes. Viral conjunctivitis can take many weeks to clear completely can cause some temporary eyelid droopiness. I would suggest that you just use a cool compress and wait until your signs and symptoms have resolved. If your eyelid remains droopy or gets any worse or your vision becomes affected, a visit to your ophthalmologist for an evaluation would be appropriate.
