Question

Hii..I m bala. My left eye is looking side eye corner . Plz help me. How to correct them.

John J. Martin, Jr., MD · Answer

You have an problem with the muscles that are attached to the eye.  You would need surgery to adjust these muscles to try and straighten the left eye.  You should see an ophthalmologist who specializes in this sort of work - adult motility, or pediatric ophthalmologist.

Jed H. Horowitz, MD, FACS · Answer

Patients who would benefit from
a blepharoplasty include those who experience:

Eyelid asymmetry of the lid, skin, orbit,  lid foldExcess skin or sagging of the upper eyelids (which can obscure
vision)Puffy areas in the upper eyelids or bags under the eyesDroopiness of the lower eyelidsYou may be able to benefit from fillers in the lower lids to help with this problem

Kenneth E. Morgenstern, MD · Answer

Your eyes are out of alignment; in the photo, the left eye veers outward (ie, exotropia). There are many different causes for this, and the likely causes vary depending on if it is long-standing or recent onset, whether it is intermittent v. constant, whether you have double vision, etc.You should definitely schedule an appointment with an ophthalmologist for a complete eye exam, including dilated exam. That person will then get any additional work-up, if necessary, and refer you to an eye muscle specialist to see what treatment would be appropriate (eye muscle surgery, etc). Good luck.

Robert H. Hunsaker, MD · Answer

Yes, this can be improved. A plastic surgeon is not the one to see however. You need to see an ophthalmologist for an evaluation and recommendations.

Andrew M. Lofman, MD, FACS · Answer

From the photo it looks like some element of extropion. This can be fixed surgically with a canthoplasty. You need to be seen by a specialist in oculoplastics
