My right eye is a lot more hooded than the left. Any suggestions? (photos)

Asked By:envm12 in Boston, MA

Over the past year or so I've begun to notice more and more that my eyes are uneven in that one is dramatically more hooded than the other, which is very evident when I smile as it makes the right eye seem much smaller than the left. Everyone else has told me they've never noticed and that's great but it drives me absolutely nuts when I see it myself. Is there any way to fix it?
