Blepharoplasty can lessen the asymmetry of eyes

William Portuese, MD answers: Procedure for asymmetrical eyelid and lazy eye?

My eyes are not symmetrical and I have a lazy eye what can I do? I was hit in the face by a softball a couple years ago. My one eyelid is much larger and covers up part of my one eye.

Lastly, I have a lazy eye and it strays away and makes me look crazy.

According to the picture shown, the lazy eye does appear to be significantly asymmetric than the opposite eye. A blepharoplasty can help with this issue. It also appears that, that eyebrow is lower than the opposite side. Asymmetrical eyelid surgery can help make the eyelids look more symmetrical and remove the lazy eyed look.
