I have one eye that is deeper set in the socket. Is there a way to fix this?

Asked By:scopsowlpost in Nyack, NY

The eye feels smaller to the touch, looks smaller, and is also slightly higher up than the normal eye. It also has more eyelid skin, probably due to being further set back in the eye socket. Also, the eyebrow for this eye is slightly higher than my other eyebrow. Or is it possible to make the eye opening on my "normal" eye smaller, so it better matches the eye I described?
