What Could've Caused my Uneven Eyes?

October 15, 2009
Asked By:Peter O Hanrahahanrahan in New York

Over the last few years, my right eye - relative to the horizontal position of the left - seems to have taken a hike down my face. It's started to droop as well. I've been wearing contacts for about 6 years. My right eyebrow is perched higher than the left, and it's the only eyebrow I can [RS bleep] - could it be that my right eyebrow muscles have distended due to overexertion, leading to a droopy appearance? This asymmetry is worsened by the fact that both eyes seem to be drooping from the bottom. I'm 20 yrs. old, if at all relevant.
