Large Eyes with Scleral Show. Any suggestions? (photos)

While I agree with your assessment of scleral show being present, you have very pretty eyes and lids. It would be important to ask you if you repeatedly use eye drops to treat dryness? That would dictate operative necessity due to an overly exposed eyeball. With prominent eyes (which you have), I would be sure to rule out thyroid issues, so have your "thyroid levels" checked by your primary physician. There are procedures to elevate the eyelid closer to the colored part of your eye, including releasing your lower eyelid retractors and/or placing a "graft" in your lower lid to boost the lid position upwards. I'll remind you though, your eyes are attractive, so in the end, doing nothing may be your best bet.

Dear Quest8Your eyes are attractive- and it is important that your eyelid shape is NORMAL.  Scleral show is present is a good proportion of the population.  Unless you are symptomatic ( dryness), there is no reason to change the shape of your eyes.  There is NO - nonsurgical procedure to lift the lower eyelids.  Fillers can improve the hollow below the eyelids.  With Warm RegardsTrevor M Born MD

It sounds like you have inherited lower eyelid retraction with sclera show. It can be abnormal but it also depends on the ethnicity and other factors. Classically, almond shape eye don't have scleral show. Filler injection will not work to lift the lower eyelids without making the area too puffy. However, lower lid retraction surgery can work to make more almond shape eyes. See link below.

Your big eyes are beautiful.  Unsuccessful surgery it alter this feature is ugly.  You have to be very careful what you look for.  Unless you are having a functional issue with your big eyes like chronic eye irritation, do not let surgeons mess with your eyes.  For a detailed, personal assessment, there is no substitute for a personal consultation.

Facial beauty starts with your eyes.  Reviewing your photographs, your eyes are very attractive.  Surgery to correct your scleral show is possible but it comes with consequences.  Re-positioning you lower eyelid will decrease the volume of you viable eye, making the aperture smaller.  Personally, I would avoid surgery, but a consultation and evaluation with a professional never hurts.Good Luck.

Thank you for the question and the photos and your lower lids can be elevated with surgery but an examination is needed.  So see some experts in your area.Dr. Corbin

It appears you have a hereditary condition where your lid position is lower than ideal. There's a very safe, minimally invasive surgical procedure that can lift the entire lower lid so that it comes up to meet the colored part of your eye and eliminate the scleral show. Although minor, this is a technically demanding procedure, so make sure you consult with a physician who is very experienced in lower eyelid and facial cosmetic surgeries.good luck
