i had shingles in the middle of last year and ive been left with a slight eye droop - the bit just under the brow hangs differently from the other and sort of 'cuts across the corner' of my eye.

is there anything that can be done about this?

its been a while now so i think its not going to go away.

weirdly though i only really noticed it months after the shingles had gone.
it didnt even droop much when i had the shingles - my face wasnt actually 'droopy' exactly, it was more just numb, not moving in sync with the other side

any ideas?

thanks?

You had a condition called Ramsey-Hunt Syndrome which is shingles affecting the nerve to the face
The "eye" drop is known as ptosis.
Nothing can or need be done when it causes minor problems as you have described.
It is not dangerous but may never completely resolve.
