One eye is bigger than the other, or my eye lid doesn't open as wide as the other one. What can I do? (Photo)

Question

It bugs me super bad and makes my self confidence low. I was wondering if this was Ptosis or just from bad health? Is there a way to cure this? Any other additional info I should know? Thanks in advance

Thank you for the question and photo. You have a ptotic (drooping) right upper eyelid. There are several techniques to improve the problem. An experienced oculoplastic surgeon can make you look symmetrical again. Good luck.

John J. Martin, Jr., MD · Answer

You have ptosis of the right upper eyelid.  See an oculoplastic surgeon to evaluate your eyelid muscle function and decide what surgery would be best for you.

Scott R. Brundage, MD · Answer

You appear to have a ptotic right upper eyelid. This most likely is congenital. Mostly, this is corrected by oculoplastic surgeons today.
