I want to know what's wrong with my left eye and if it is something serious?

Question

Okay, I have started noticing that my left eye is slightly bulging and doesn't have the eyelid crease like the right one. It looks slightly larger too. Also when I pull the eyelid upward to see the white part of the eye, I can see like an indent on my right eye that I don't see on my left eye. My left eye feels kind of stiff, but my right eye feels soothing, my vision is really good and I don't need glasses. It will be a great help to tell me how to fix this I will be really grateful. Thankyou

I strongly recommend that you see your ophthalmologist or a fellowship trained oculoplastic surgeon.  They will be able to assess your concerns and obtain appropriate studies to get to the bottom of what is going on.

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  The
most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I
recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon
who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Hello. Without a photo it is difficult to tell what is going on and what your options may be. Your best starting point woud be to meet with a experienced plastic surgeon and ask what your options are. Good luck!
