Eyes Change Size With A History Of Bumps?
al January 18 2018 I hit an iron in my right eye, hard enough to make a bluish swelling from the eyebrows to the eye bags. Early February 2018 my eyes have healed. But I noticed, the size of my eyes are narrower than before the swelling. Is this reasonable? And can my eye size return to its original size? Thank you

Good afternoon, thanks for asking at HealthReplies.com. The size of the eye, be it slanted, belo, looks big or small is actually the role of the eyelids. Some eyes have additional structures around their eyes that play a role in giving the eyes the appearance we've already mentioned.
In some conditions, the appearance of the eye can be different than before. This can be caused, for example, by swollen eyes due to bumps, allergic reactions or animal bites, or eyes that become puffy from crying. This is normal and in most cases the eye can usually return to its original appearance.
In your case, eyes that look narrower can occur because during the wound healing process due to impact, scar tissue is formed which looks like scars on other parts of the body, only it forms inside the eyelids. These scars cause certain structural changes that ultimately lead to a slanted look. But if it's just swollen, then what you can do is a warm compress on your eye.
But the best advice you can do is to have your condition checked by an eye doctor. Because if there is scar tissue as we have mentioned, further treatment may be needed to restore the eye's appearance to its original state. I hope you and your family are always healthy.
That's all, hope it helps.
