I have had this for a year and half, only in the right eye. Opthamologist said maybe allergies. Allergist said thyroid. no doubt tests have shown my thyroid is out of whack, and I do have most of those symptoms, but this swelling is like clockwork once a week, right eye. And I have sixth nerve palsy right side, but they say no connection. I am very frustrated.
There are many world class tertiary care centers in the United States and eyelide problems just falls into a group that they see much of. Given your work up its likely that its not "fatal" and watching for change is certainly one option.
In the USA outstanding eye care cetners: John Hopkins Wilmer Institute, U of Miami Bascom Palmer, New York Eye and Ear, Mass Eye and Ear, Mayo Clinic, Emory univeristy, Iowa University, Washington University, UCLA, USC, and many more.
