Can my enophthalmos be corrected without surgery? (Photo)

tmylesAug 12, 2017

In general, it is not uncommon to have one eye that appears "smaller" than the other.  Commonly, the eyes themselves are the same size but the bony eye socket may be different, as one example.  Other causes can be ptosis (toe-sis), which is a lowering of the eyelid margin. Many times the eye w...
