Do I have ptosis in my right eye? (Photos)

I have been dealing with a lot of eye discomfort in my right eye, eyes never feeling even. I've gone to many eye doctors and rather than say my eyes are uneven or I have a droopy eyelid, the typical response is I have dry eyes, would that be accurate? Is this something that could be corrected to improve overall comfort?

You have bilateral upper eyelid ptosis and eyebrow compensation. The right eyebrow is somewhat more compensated than the left causing the two eyes to look so different. Please be aware that it is so common for eyelid surgeons to mismanage this situation. The most popular ptosis surgery is the...

What you need here is surgery to address your upper eyelid ptosis. You have a partial central levator disinsertion. That means that the Muellerectomy (so-called scarless, or posterior approach) ptosis surgery will not be right for you because it will adequately repair the upper eyelid issues....
