What can be done for uneven round eyes

It seems to me your pictures were perhaps taken at different time periods and I wish I knew which picture was taken most recently because I see somewhat different findings in these pictures. I hope you understand the picture don't always represent true you and in-person consultation is the best way to make the right assessment. If I just look at your first two pictures, to achieve best symmetry, I may recommend right Asian eyelid surgery, medial epicantholasty, and perhaps ptosis... more

Canthopexy/Canthoplasty

The terms you are seeking is called canthopexy/canthoplasty. I would urge you not to have this done electively. This procedure done cosmetically, more often than not, ends up looking unnatural, leading to very unhappy patients. Done for reconstructive reasons, it is quite useful. I would not recommend it for you. If you really want to pursue this, I would recommend getting a consultation with an Oculoplastics Surgeon. You can find one close to you at asoprs dot org. more
