heavy eye

[hylander193]

Can you please help me. For the past 5 months, I have had a heavy right eye, which seems to worsen when i drink alcohol.  Does this mean that I have high eye pressure, or would you not feel if you had high eye pressure.  I had them dilated 3 times already this year by 2 eye surgeons(was getting a small hole in my left eye checked), and they said that my eyes were healthy.  So should I be happy with that, or is there something else i should do?  I had a MRI done too and the results came back clear.  Would a neurologist be able to help me in anyway, or should I be happy with the eye specialist answer?!!  The vision in both my eyes is good, but a tiny bit better in my left eye.

Would appreciate your advise.

Dear Hylander193

From what you describe, you may have a slightly droopy eye.  Is it something that can be observed by others or only noticed by you?  What you can do is have a photograph taken of you if it is observed by others, and compare with old photographs.  Make sure you see an eyeMD and show the doctor what you observe.
