For a few years now, my eyes have been aymmetrical. I was not born this way, it just started when I was about 17 (6 years ago) and has got worse and worse since. It appears that my left eyelid droops, but I actually think it's the other eye that has the problem, as that it the one I feel discomfort in.

I get funny looks everywhere I go and it is causing my physical and emotional distress.
