A year ago my right eye sunked in. I was studying for finals so I thought the stress did it and it would get better later as time goes by. It is not as bad as before but my eye is still not the same. It looks like under my eyebrow the fat went away, its gotten darker and my eyelid line has gone away (or at least gone up and in). Is there anything I can do at home to fix this or at some doctors office? I really want a solution and any answers are truly appreciated. Thank you for any help.
Answer: Right eye sunken in It is quite frankly a strange history in the absence of any trauma to the eye for and eye to "sink in". This would imply some loss of substance in either the eye socket or the eyeball itself. You need to see an opthamologist to quantify what is going on.... Old photos prior to this appearance might be helpful to determine how much is real or not. Alternatively, when looking at the eyes, the left globe [eyeball] is more prominent, with a bit more scleral show [ which means more white of the eye is showing] and may actually be the problem in appearance. A unilateral proptosis [eye pushing forward] may be the issue... and may be caused perhaps by some abnormal opthalmolgical problem. Lastly, in the absence of any disease process of the eyes, asymmetry is not uncommon. The bottom line : Get a complete and thorough eye exam.....good luck Armand Simone, MD FACS New york, NY Senior Plastic Surgeon
