How to Correct Asymmetrical Eyes?

my eyes are not equal. the left eyelid is lower than the right but only slightly so i don't mind it but the problem is my left eye is raised above more than the right. Is there any surgery or method that will make my left eye look like the right? Please help me Im getting teased alot because of this and i know its not that bad but i really really want them fixed. so please help me. sorry i cant pose a picture..

A: correction assymetrical eyes

It is important to recognize that we are all assymetric. We might notice one eybrow a little lower than the other, when in fact, the entire orbit is lower than the other. Careful evalutation by a patient together with a physician will help to identify what things might be corrected.

Ptosis Surgery 6 Months Ago. Lid is Starting to Droop Slightly. What Can I Do?

Had cornea transplant 3 hrs ago and developed potisis in that eye. Had surgery6 months ago everything looked good.I have noticed a slight droop again in the same eye.should I have the musle tightened again. Awaiting for your advise. Thanks. Neville.

A: Recurrent ptosis

Ptosis can recur after surgery that seems to have an initial excellent result. There can be a lot of factors. In your case, did you recently have a corneal transplant? Any ocular surgery can change the eyelid height, mainly due to inflammation and swelling associated with the eye surgery. Much of these changes will resolve with time.

Why Did my Doctor Use Steri Strips on Top of my Upper Eyelid Stitches?

The strips are now really dry and tight, is it okay to put an ointment on them/

A: Steri Strips on Eyelid Incisions

Surgeons have different techniques for closing wounds to minimize scar. Some like steri strips over wounds. I personally do not like them on the eyelid, since the eyelid is a dynamic structure and the 'stiff' strips can be uncomfortable as you have noticed.

I would consult with your surgeon as to whether ointment is perfered over the steri strips. In my experience it is not a problem.
