I have a uneven crease in both eyelids from excessively rubbing my eyes. What is the best option for me?

Question

Christopher Cote, MD · Answer

Well the first thing is to assess what is causing you to rub your eyes so much.  This could be a medical condition and if it is not being treated properly could lead to other eye issues.  Depending on your age and degree of sun damage and other medical or genetic factors, eyelid surgery may correct your issue.  The next best step is to have an examination with a specialist who can appropriately assess this.

Dallas Buchanan, MD · Answer

With a picture of the problem or a physical exam, it is impossible to discuss with you what surgical options are available to you. An "uneven crease" can mean so many different things and surgery may or may not be the answer.I suggest you schedule a consultation with a local plastic surgeon and have them evaluate your problem. They can review your concern with you and discuss options that may be available to you. Good luck!

It is impossible to know what the problem is or what options might be available without photos. But you can be pretty sure, whatever it is did not come from rubbing.
