Options to reduce sclera show?

January 10, 2025
Asked By:emk11

Hi, my eyes look really weird in pics, like I'm on drugs or dead. I think it's cause I have big (maybe bulging) eyes, so my sclera shows. In real life, it’s not too bad, but in pics, it looks worse. Sometimes my eyes look fine (like when I smile or at certain angles), but mostly, the sclera shows a lot. What procedures should I look into? Is there a way to lower my iris or fix this so the sclera doesn’t show? It’s really bothering me.
