Suggest Treatment For Swollen Hard Line Right Above Eyelashes

Dear Doctors, Around two months ago, i woke up with swollen ,heavy and kind of droopy eyelids (i felt it more in the right eye ). It looks like a swollen hard thin line right above and along the lashes, then few small bumps started to appear and few hairs started to grow out of them . i went to an ophthalmologist and he said that i had a corneal abrasion in both eyes ( more in the right ) and it may be due to eye dryness . i came back after two weeks and he said that the abrasion was heeled and didn t know what caused the swelling. He gave me lubricating eye drops and ciprofloxacin eye ointment and told me to use warm eye compresses . its been a week now, the right eye looks smaller than the left eye and that swollen line is still there so no progress. i think i may be using the ointment wrong ;i am applying it over the swollen area, should i apply it inside the eye instead ? please doctors what is wrong with my eyes ?

with your history it appears you are having multiple styover lid margin. cor neal abraison may be indipendent of it. apply neosporine eye oint ment over lid margin, and ofloxacin eyedrop .3% may be applied 6hourly. observe for the progress.
