Eyelid is fu....

All 19 years of my life they seem to have been fine. Now one of my eyelids has got one extra fold in when my eyes are open. I realise it's not vision or life threatening but over the law few weeks I've started to become really conscious of it. Anyone got any ideas? Surgery seems the obvious solution but I guess that would cost 2 or three thousand £! ****.

Don't worry, I have one eyelid larger than the other but its not as obvious as your one...

Um..have you tried rubbing some eye cream on it before sleep? Is this a recent thing? coz it might go away after a week or so. When i have an extra fold in my eyelid, it goes away after 1-2weeks.

Not sure what else you can do about it really! but try not to let it get to you!

Thanks :smile: Yeh it only started in last 4 or 5 weeks. Haven't really got any cream. I booked a doctors apointment so I guess I should ask him/her...

My eyelid does (a less extreme version of) that when I haven't been getting as much sleep. Has your sleep pattern changed? Are you feeling more tired recently?

Anyway, why did you ask if you've got an appointment with a doctor?

Also, I'm loving the irony of posting as anonymous then putting pictures of yourself up :rofl:
