Due to my asymmetrical eyes, would I make a suitable candidate for surgery? (photos)

January 27, 2016
Asked By:vcho in Aurora, CO

have considerable asymmetry of the eyes but this does not effect my vision at all. It seems to me my right eye is further out and positioned higher. To lesser degree I have always had it but I have noticed that in my photos it is beginning to look more and more pronounced in recent years. In physical reality, it is also noticeable when your focus is placed on them. Overall, I am quite healthy and still quite young at 29 years. What could have caused this? Treatment-wise, what are my options?
