Scleral show of 2mm. What is the best treatment option? (Photo)

Question

I am 23 years old. I have 2mm scleral show. When someone clicks my photos, my right eye looks bigger than the left one and it looks like I'm drunk and my lips are also not symmetrical which makes me feel not so confident.

Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photos. Your scleral show can be corrected by one of a few techniques. Make an appointment with an oculoplastic surgeon for comprehensive evaluation and treatment guidance. 
Good luck!

Hello! Thank you for your question.As far as I can see from your photo, the things that you concern about it due to facial asymmetry. No surgery can be correct it fully but with canthopexy surgery your eye symmetry can be improved. Please keep in mind that %100 symmetry is not achievable in any case. Best Regards!

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello @Jubilant490910, thank you for your question. The scleral show, visible white part of the eye below the iris, can be due to various reasons. Determining the most appropriate treatment option for you requires a thorough examination and understanding of the underlying cause. It’s important to remember that there will always be some degree of asymmetry present in most if not all individuals. If the asymmetry is significantly noticeable or is causing you distress, there may be ways to help improve it. Non-surgical treatments or protocols can improve some asymmetry. Best wishes!
