I've developed assymetry in my eyes and am wondering if it is due to ptosis, pseudoptosis or neither. I'm also looking for recommendations as to what can be done to correct it. Thanks!

Answer: Eyleid Asymetry. Thanks for sending your photos. You have some degree of asymmetry but from your photos its does not look like ptosis. Ptosis is when the eyelid margin itself rests lower on the eyeball than is normal. It appears that your skin on the R is hanging down further than the left but the margin looks OK. You have a well formed crease on your left but no crease on the Right. One option would be to surgically create a crease on the R side to improve the symmetry. Of course an in person physical exam would be needed to be sure.Best of Luck
