Around the age of 14 my right eye started to feel and look tired and has gradually got worse over the years. My right eye tends to look droopy and saggy all of the time and even more dominant if i really am tired. I have no problems with my left eye, only my right. My question is can anything be done to correct it? or at least decrease it?
