Ask a QuestionAsymmetrical Eye Correction - Possible?
Ive added a picture. My eyes are quite asymmetrical as you can see. Now, I understand that everyone has their own asymmetrical features but I find this somewhat disturbing. Is it possible in anyway to 'allign' the eyes or make it look like they are more on the same 'line'?

Asymmetrical eyes
You have a difference in the position of the eyes, with the left eye higher, and the set of the eyes, with the left eye more prominent. This orbital dystopia cannot be corrected without changing the eye bones or the position of the eyeball in the eye bone, a major procedure which, with this degree of asymmetry, would not typically be recommended.

Eye asymmetry
Yes, your eyes are asymmetric but there may be several different reasons inlcuding the underlying bony architecture. Your right brow is alos lower than your left and that is also why the right eye looks a bit more "crowded" as compared to the left.

Ueven eyes may be due to bone asymmetry
In your case, while the soft tissues of the eye appear comparable. I have the impression that the problem is more likely related to a plagiocephaly or skull asymmetry (Harlequin deformity is a strong word for this). This could requie extesnive surgery.
