Does my eye look cross eyed or is it just that my left eye feels larger? For a while I’ve noticed one eyeball is larger (Photo)

Question

My left eye ball is larger then the other. And I feel like they sit differently. Is there any thing I can do to fix it?

Kenneth D. Steinsapir, MD · Answer

What you need is a clinical examination. The photos demonstrate bilateral upper eyelid ptosis.  The left upper eyelid is heavier than the right side. An in person clinical examination is needed to determine if this is the basis for the asymmetry.

Johnson C. Lee, MD · Answer

It is natural to have some degree of asymmetry of the eyes in every person. This is sometimes due to differences in the bony skeleton, the soft tissue, or the eyelid and eyebrow positions. It is best to have an in-office examination to evaluate what exactly is causing the asymmetry to determine what options are available to safely improve the asymmetry between your eyes.

Hello jaydwain97It appears that your right eye may be protruded. It’s hard to tell without a formal exam but it is subtle. This could be of no significance. If this is something new then a CAT scan of the eyes would be recommended. Many factors are involved in looking into why your eyes appear that way. The correction of this could be nonsurgical or surgical depending on what is desired. My suggestion is to seek out an expert Oculoplastic surgeon to discuss your best strategy. Hope this helps. Cheers
