Why Would One Wake Up With Droopy And Swollen Eyes Causing Further Irritation?
I have been waking up with my eyes stuck together and upper lid droopy and swollen. During the day I don't notice much irritation or discharge but my eye lids still look droopy. I also noticed that my lash line looks a little purple . Doctor oerscribed my eye drops for conjunctivitus but it has been a week and they have not gotten any better.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having irritation, discharge and swollen eye lids.
These symptoms indicate infections of the eye like infective conjunctivitis. The treatment of the condition is by using oral antiinflammatory drugs and antibiotic eye drops.
Hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
