Can my astigmatism be the cause for the droopiness on one side of my face? (photo)

krivers224Jul 18, 2016
I was diagnosed with astigmatism of my right eye when I was younger. Over time, the right side of my face has seemed to get droopy and my eye looks lazy. You can especially see this in pictures. I hardly wear my glasses and that is a problem. Is laser eye surgery likely to correct this or am I going to have to consider another option? I would like to get this corrected if possible and I want to know my options. My eyelid looks a little off ass well. Thank you!

LSD does not have any known effects on the eyes. However, there have been people who have taken LSD and, while under the influence, stared for many seconds at the sun, causing irreversible damage to their eyes.
