What procedure should I do to fix asymmetrical eyes after a non-traumatic retinal detachment/surgery? (Photos)

June 26, 2021
Asked By:chacoco in Chicago, Illinois

Hello! I had a non-traumatic retinal detachment which I then had surgery for in 2017. I had a scleral buckle put in, but I’ve noticed that my eyes are now uneven. I don’t have droopy eyelids (I’m East Asian so I don’t have any!), and I think it’s mostly because it seems my eyeballs have sunk in? I don’t think it’s enophthalmus, but it does seem like my eyeballs are “smaller.” What procedures should I consider to fix it/what kind of surgeon should I have a consultation with?
