You have attractive large eyes.  Scleral show is normal with larger eyes.  Models such as Kate Moss even show signs of scleral show in certain images.  I'd avoid surgery.  Non surgical treatment of your cheeks and tear trough with filler may enhance the volume under your eyes and provide a nice enhancement.

There are not good non-surgical options to improve your scleral show.  Surgery to correct scleral show can be a challenge and is especially challenging on patients with large eyes.  I would be very careful who you choose if you decide to move forward with a surgery.  I hope this helps.

Thank you for posting your case and photos.  I agree that you have inferior scleral show.  Sometimes, surgery for this condition can leave your eyelids looking unnatural.  Consider a consultation with an oculoplastic surgeon to discuss your goals and the options for correction.  Good luck!

U have beautiful eyes & a little show I think enhances your look , don't play around with more surgery & run the risk of ruining a good thing . Like u say , smiling helps lessen & also helps the soul !

Robert L. Kraft, MD, FACS · Answer

PRK does not cause scleral show. This is likely your status quo. See an oculoplastic surgeon for evaluation.
