Did your eyelid go back to normal? And if so, how long did it take after the corneal abrasion? The reason why I'm asking is because it has been 3 weeks since my corneal abrasion and it seems that my eyelid has improved but it is still a little bit droopy which makes one eye look bigger than the other.
