I've had this asymmetry for yrs; recently feels worse. Often catch myself raising brows to compensate & have headaches/sore forehead. When I pull up eyelids, upper peripheral vision improves, even somewhat on less squinty left eye. Might both benefit from intervention? I hear insurance is strict. Based on photo, any chance it might be covered? Realize tests would be req'd to confirm but just want idea if it might be medical/functional (I.e., require PCP referral even just for the consultation)
