What causes uneven eyes?

What causes uneven eyes?

The causes vary, including habitually using the facial muscles on one side, genetic factors, and asymmetry caused by accidents or surgery.

Therefore, it is important to identify the cause and address it fundamentally.

Both eyes can have some degree of asymmetry.

If the asymmetry is noticeable, you can identify the underlying cause and improve it through correction surgery for uneven eyes.

Before and after ptosis correction for uneven eyes

How do you correct uneven eyes?

If one eye simply has a double eyelid and the other does not, the problem can be solved by creating a double eyelid on the side without one. However, the situation is different in cases of ptosis with uneven eyes.

Ptosis with uneven eyes means that, as in the patient above, the strength of the muscles that open the eyes is different between the two eyes. This problem is completely different from one side of a double eyelid coming undone after double-eyelid surgery, and it refers to asymmetry in the muscles that open the eyes.

In this case, the eyes should be corrected while taking Hering’s law into consideration.

When correcting ptosis with uneven eyes, Hering’s law must be considered.

Our eyes are like a seesaw, so when one eye goes down, the other eye may go up.

In this way, if the eye with ptosis is corrected before surgery, the eye that was originally normal may become smaller after surgery. Therefore, in principle, both eyes should be corrected.

Recovery process after ptosis correction surgery for uneven eyes

The following are before-and-after photos 7 days after ptosis correction surgery and 3 months later.

In cases of uneven-eye correction, the recovery speed of the two eyes differs, so it is important to allow at least 3 months of recovery time and observe the results.

Uneven eyes caused by ptosis can gradually return due to habitual use after correction, so you should try not to rely on the forehead.

Eye exercises after surgery

After surgery, sufficient eye exercises are needed according to the medical staff’s instructions.

Because long-established habits can unconsciously reappear even after surgery, it is necessary during recovery to practice opening the eyes without using the forehead.

Surgery time and care

The surgery takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes in total for both sides and is performed under local anesthesia.

In cases of uneven-eye correction, it is necessary during surgery to adjust the symmetry of each eye, so it cannot be done while in a sleeping state.

After surgery, for about 2 weeks, you should avoid irritating the eyes, such as rubbing them hard, and avoid postures that lower the head and increase intraocular pressure.
