Hello
It appears that an over correction of ptsosis has been made during surgery, otherwise by now the child should be able to close the eye. You are advised to meet the operating surgeon for further advice.
Meanwhile you can use lubricating eye drops to prevent dryness and its complications as the child is not able to close the eye.
