The right side of my face is lazy or the eye is uneven. Lip looks lazy too. Is it because I sleep on this side? (Photo)

Question

Is because I have a lazy eye? Do I need glasses to strength that eye.

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

It is possible that you have ptosis causing your eyes to be uneven.  This is a condition where a muscle in the upper eyelid becomes weakened and allows the eyelid to fall lower across the eyeball than it should.  This condition can be corrected with a surgical procedure.  I would recommend seeing an oculoplastic surgeon or a surgeon experienced in ptosis surgery.

M. Hakan Bulam, MD, FEBOPRAS · Answer

Ptosis is falling of the upper eyelid. First of all it should be investigated to find the reason. If no cause could be find then it is called congenital type and the treatment is eyelid surgery. The surgical technique depends on the severity of the ptosis and how opening function of the eyelid is. But generally ptosis correction surgery is done under local anesthesia and operation duration is short. Good luck Kevin. Dr. M. Hakan BULAM, MD, EBOPRAS, Istanbul
