How can I fix the appearance of crossed eyes (pseudostrabismus)? Please help (photos)

December 12, 2016
Asked By:eyequestion1029 in Miami, FL

Recently saw an eye specialist and was told I do not have crossed eyes, but rather the appearance of crossed eyes (pseudostrabismus). I was told it was due to the shape of my eyelids. Everything I've read about surgically altering the appearance of crossed eyes is in regards to monolids, which I do not have. It appears as though my upper eyelid is just big and covers too much of my inner eye. What could I do to change this?
