Small Eye Openings? (photo)

July 28, 2013
Asked By:Carol571

I have small eyes because the opening (between upper and lower lids) is small. To be specific, there is very little white showing on the sides, and the bottom and top of the iris cannot be seen. Eyes are almond shaped but I am not Asian. I am nearsighted, but the opening size has not affected my vision. This is a cosmetic problem. Eyes deep set, high in face, light colored and light eyelashes - all make them appear even smaller. I hate this. Can plastic surgery help? Sick of makeup.
