How Long is Recovery From Eyelid Cryotherapy?
NOV 28, 2014
Question:
I had cryotherapy done on my eyelid to remove some eyelashes growing towards my eye. It has been three days now and my eye is still red and my lid is still swollen. I get a burning sensation in my eye also. Is this common? How long does the swelling last and does my eye stays red? How soon can I wear eye makeup (I do not wear eye liner).
Answer:
Redness and crusting for a week or so is normal after a cryotherapy treatment. You may try using an artificial tear drop for comfort. If the redness and swelling progresses, please contact your ophthalmologist.
You can wear eye makeup as soon as you feel comfortable.
