One eye is more hooded and droopy than the other. What options are available to correct this?

Asked By:Jj9602091 in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada

Over the last few years, my left eye has become more hooded and droopy than the right. I am wondering what the best treatment for this would be? Do hooding and droopiness require 2 different treatments? And lastly, would you suggest getting both eyes done (but more correction on the left), or just the left? Thank you.
