Non-Surgical/Surgical options for asymmetric eyes? (Photo)

Question

I've been to an Ophthalmologist, and they diagnosed me with slight exotropia (likely congenital) and exophthalmos. I know a part of the asymmetry would be fixed with orbital decompression surgery, but I don't think it's severe enough for that. Would canthoplexy/blepharoplasty or eyebrow lift be enough to make them seem somewhat leveled? Because I notice that when I squint, they look more even. My brows are harder to get even because it feels like one brow bone is more protruding.

On one front door view, it appears you may have slight ptosis of the left upper eyelid. On the other picture, you do not.
All people have a symmetrical faces, and the primary source of asymmetry is facial bone structure.
Based on the information included, I see no strong indication for surgical intervention, or need for intervention at all.
Unilateral upper eyelid ptosis can be corrected surgically if that is in fact, what you have.
That diagnosis is generally not made by looking at pictures, but requires an examination.
Facial asymmetry is normal, and should be left alone.
