One eyeball is deeper than the other. Can anything be done to fix this?

Asked By:BBLdoll2015 in Chicago, IL

Both my eyes are set deep in the eyeball sockets, I have no eyelid crease/ball where eyeshadow is usually applied, its very flat. The left eye goes in even deeper than the right eye and its noticeable, can this be corrected, if so how? I know for hypothyroid patients the eyeballs can do the opposite and stick out, and there is a treatment for it. Can the opposite be done? This has really bothered me most my life.
