Do I Have Ptosis? If So What Came First, Hollow Eyes or Ptosis? (photo)

alliec
I have always been bothered by the way my eyes look: tired and very hollowed. I also notice that my eyes droop considerably unless i try to raise my eyebrows. I have amblyopia, astigmatism & very mild strabismus. And, looking back at pictures when i was younger I had a lower crease. But during my early teens I have very high crease & they're very hollow too. I feel like I don't resemble my age (mid 20's) because of it. Did the hollow eyes cause the ptosis or vice versa?
