Swelling under the right eye

05/02/2008

Question:

this started a few days ago and has gradually got worse as if my eye is on the verge of closing. i went to see a doctor and was told it was an infection and was prescribed antibiotics, but the swelling is just getting worse, i would like a second opinion. thanks.

Answer:

If you would like a second opinion and feel that your condition may be worsening, then book in with another optometrist soon. It is impossible to diagnose your condition over the internet. Best of luck to you.

Kind Regards,
