I got into a car accident and got a "mild" concussion. I have noticed that my right eye has sunken in and is directed looking more up than my left one. Now my face looks different on either side :( . can I predict that this will get any better with time as it was the result of a concussion or is it permanent. Could surgery fix it? Could things go wrong anmy eyes end up looking less similar? Are there eye exercises that could fix this sunken eye ? Is there any way to fix it that is non invasive?
