The one that is lazy really gets bad..Can this be fixed..I had one doctor put a weight..into the lid of the eye that open to wide, It was surgically inserted..Didnt work, as the weight pushing againsts my eyeball caused blurred vision.
Answer: Eyelid Asymmetry It's not unusual for patients to have orbital asymmetry. In your case, your right eye seems much smaller than your left eye. This appears to be related to a phenomena called eyelid ptosis.This condition occurs when the muscle that elevates the eyelid becomes detached or is weakened. This results in the characteristic drooping that's seen in your pictures. When this situation arises, it's not unusual for the opposite eyelid to elevate. This sympathetic response tends to make the opposite eye look larger.Although your pictures are helpful, a definitive diagnosis will depend upon a physical examination. For this reason, consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is appropriate. This surgeon should be able to formulate a treatment plan that addresses your anatomic findings and achieves your aesthetic goals.

Answer: One eye open more than the other This is likely to be difference in the length of the eye opening mechanism called elevator but you would need a dynamic examination and compare both sides. If this is indeed an issue there is corrective surgery that can be undertaken.

Answer: Asymmetry in eyes Yes, this can be fixed. The long term effects are hard to change; however, you would need to see an ophthalmologist that does strabismus surgery. They can help correct the asymmetry in your eyes. Good luck!DrC

Answer: I have one eye that opens more than the other? It is very difficult to tell from just one animated photograph what is really going on. An in-person examination is required to make a determination about being a candidate for blepharoplasty procedure. It's also important to rule out ptosis, which is a muscle weakness of the upper lid which creates a roller shading of one eyelid down across the black part of the pupil. Everyone has some degree of eyelid asymmetry which also needs to be recognized.
