Heavier and slightly bigger eyelid that feels unnatural, but no redness (cold, doctor)

[Eugene80]

Does anyone know what can cause a slightly heavier, bigger eyelid that feels like it doesn't open properly or quickly enough all the way? I have that in my right eyelid.


I've had this before occasionally, but it would always go away quickly, within a day. But this instance has been present for 2+ weeks already.



The eyes themselves look perfectly symmetrical and a doctor confirmed it. However, the eyelid itself looks bigger than before; i.e. it should be folded more (I confirmed it from earlier photos) and now the fold is kind of bigger. Subjectively it feels like the eye doesn't open fully or quickly, especially when looking straight up, like something is obstructing or slowing down the folding process.


There is no redness anywhere. Nothing at all suspicious even on close examination, no obvious culprit on the eyelid itself, it looks exactly the same as the left eyelid, just bigger.

Are you sleep deprived? It might be trying to close

Not at all. I get plenty of sleep. This has been in effect for more than 2 weeks already.

Have you seen an eye doctor? How about a cold compress on that eye.

If nothing on the inside or outside of the eyelid you should consult a doctor.
