My eyes have been making me insecure because people are starting to notice and there telling me I have a lazy Eye but arnt you suppose to have blurred vision in that eye? I have perfect eye sight.. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think it's a lazy eye I think one eye is bigger than the other.. And I really want to fix it if possible.
Answer: Brow ptosis and lower lid Good Morning!Looking at your photo, your eye aperture on the right does appear a bit smaller. It is a normal variant of everyone's anatomy, but if it bothers you it can be improved.You look like you have both a slightly lower brow on that side and possibly a bit of excess lid skin on that side as well. With an exam we could determine if you also need a bit of upper lid muscle tightening to aid in opening up your eye.You best bet is a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon near you.I hope this helps

Answer: Brow ptosis If you look carefully at your pictures, you will see that the right brow is a little lower over toward the nose. That makes the eye appear smaller. You could try some Botox/Dysport to this area to lift the medial brow which should make you more symmetric.

Answer: Smaller eye Thank you for the question and photos. You do not have a lazy eye. It is common for patients to confuse this term. A lazy eye does not look straight ahead. You have a little extra skin on your right upper eyelid. This can be cause by a eyebrow ptosis (drooping) causing the eyelid skin to move downward or you may have just developed extra fullness on your eyelid over time. You might benefit from Botox injections which would elevate the brow and pull up on the skin at the same time. If that does not work, you could have surgery in the future. See an experienced eyelid surgeon for consultation. Good luck.

Answer: Eyelid asymmetry Asymmetric eyelids can be a normal variant seen in people who have different sized orbits. This may not become obvious until the facial skeleton becomes mature, as an adult. Asymmetry can also result from eyelid muscle weakness due to age, trauma and certain medical conditions. Only after an examination, which would include testing of the strength of the muscles of the eyelid and brow, as well as size and shape of the orbits, could an accurate diagnosis be made. Once the cause for your very obvious asymmetry is outlined, then the appropriate treatment could be decided upon.

Answer: Eyelid asymmetry Your eyes look asymmetric primarily because it appears your eye socket on the left is slightly larger than the one on the right, and you have less soft tissue (skin and fat) over the upper eyelid on that side. This makes the eye on that side look "bigger". To correct it, you can do one of two things: remove some of the skin/fat on the "small side" to make it match the larger side, or try and add to the larger side to make the eye look smaller (with either fillers or fat grafts). Hope this helps.
