Woke up with droopy eyelid (Photo)

Asked By:jle1 in Indiana, IN

This is freaking me out. I woke up about 3 hours ago and my eye felt a little odd. I looked in the mirror and bam! One eye is smaller. No redness or tenderness either. I am 23, no contact lenses, no trauma. I am scared it will be like this forever! I also have always had perfect vision. My eye feels strange but doesn’t hurt or sting or anything. Thanks!!

Why do my eye socket bones protrude and what options are available to fix this? (photos)
Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD says:
