As you can tell from my photos one of my eyes is normal looking and the other is smaller and looks squinty. I've looked at photos of myself as a child and didn't notice this issue. I have an astigmatism in both eyes and I wear glasses when at work. The eye with poorer vision also happens to be the one that is smaller and squinty. What could have caused this?
Answer: Eyelid Surgery Dear chelseashrimer,Your eyes are not only cosmetically different but are also functionally different. I suggest you see an eye specialist to check the functionality and a board certified facial plastic surgeon to remedy cosmetic differences between the eyes to receive the highest-quality knowledge, treatment, care and surgery available.

Answer: Ptosis You have a slight ptosis on the left. This can be corrected surgically. See an oculoplastic surgeon who can evaluate the eyelid muscles and determine which type of ptosis surgery would be best for you.

Answer: This issue is unrelated to your beautiful smile. It has nothing to do with your astigmatism.Your issue is that your left upper eyelid is ptotic. That makes your left eye look small.To repair this situation, ptosis surgery is performed. This opens the droopy side. There are a couple of types of ptosis surgery. To get the best possible result, you need a through oculoplastic assessment to determine which ptosis surgery will be best for you. Downtime for this outpatient surgery is about 10 days. This is the point were most return to work. Healing takes longer than this but by this time, the effects of surgery have calmed down enough that most people do not ask what you just had done. These surgeries are performed under light intravenous sedation so no general anesthesia.I recommend getting several opinions before deciding on your surgeon.

Answer: Smaller left eye? Thank you for your photos, they display various degrees of asymmetry between your eyes, which everyone has. However, if it is bothering you enough to post on this website, I would seek an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon who does a lot of eyelid and facial work. Very simple tests and an in person consultation will be able to decipher the reason for the asymmetry between your right and left eyes. The most common reason for eyelid asymmetry is ptosis (droopiness of the upper eyelid) and the treatment for that is fairly straightforward for someone who does a lot of eyelids.
