My right eyelid seems "double" compare to my right one, that seems perfectly normal. It wasn't like when I was small. I barely noticed it when I was 16. Its rarely that when I blink it doesnt create that sort of form (pic ). That same eye sometime get tired. How can I get this fix, will I need surgery, can I fix it myself? I also wear glasses if that helps.
