Is Difficulty In Opening Left Eyelid After Sleep A Cause For Concern?
This is the 2nd night that I have woke within minutes or hours of sleep and had difficulty opening my left eyelid. I have had a severe cold recently and lots of congestion but the drainage had mostly disappeared. Just this issue with my eyelid that concerns me. Thanks

Hello dear
Understand your concern
This problem is due to dryness of eye. This occur due to decrease oil secreting gland of eyes.
Wash your eye before going to bed, apply lubricating eye drop and artificial tear 2-3 time per day. You can also use before bed time. If not resolves consult the ophthalmologist.
Hope this may help you
