Do I have ptosis? One eye became smaller than the other one (photo)

Asked By:selena1166 in Ohio, OH

I noticed my left eye started to droop in photos about a year ago. Prior to this both my eyes were not noticeably different. I have astigmatism in my left eye which is the eye that is smaller than my right eye. It is also at times more difficult to open my left eye.
