eye twitching, not opening fully

Hi,

I have recently recovered from a stye on my right eyelid. It is basically gone, still slight swelling on the eyelid. However, the stye was on the top eyelid and now the bottom eyelid of the same eye is twitching and doesnt seem to want to open up all the way. This just began a couple of days ago, afyer the stye has gotten better. I have also noticed ive been fatigued somewhat more than usual in the last couple days. Can anyone help? Anybody have any idea if i should be worried or not? Also it has not affected my vision any, just causing my eye to twitch and feel strained, hard to keep open. Help would be appreciated! Thank you!

You should go see an ophthalmologist for an exam.  Your symptoms probably would get better when the stye is resolved but they do warrant a good exam.
