What Can Cause A Triple Eyelid In The Eye?
I had a triple eyelid for three days on my left eye...it started switching between eyes when I tried to fix it. Today I woke up and my left eyelid was swollen while my third eye was sunken back. I could hardly open my eyes, it opened a little when I washed both eyes with warm water. What is this ?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have triple eyelid in the eye. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like allergic reaction , water retention , high blood pressure , sleep deprivation or stress . I would suggest you to wash your eye with cold water several times a day , do not apply any cosmetic product on face and take over the counter anti histamine like benadryl twice a day . If condition doesn't get well then consult ophthalmologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics for infection along with anti inflammatory and corticosteroid eye drops . Doctor may also refer you to allergy specialist for allergic reaction , who may prescribe immunosuppressants .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
