lower lid retraction in right eye...please help!

Hello everyone. I have this ongoing problem that is making me very self-conscious. Basically, I have a "mild" lower lid lid retraction in my right eye. I've been to my opthamalogist and he ran many tests, including blood tests. He ruled out any thyroid problems such as graves' disease. He's pretty much at a loss as I am. I'm only 21 and really want to know how I can fix this. Here's a photo illustrating my condition.

Thanks.

I checked out the picture and see the difference. You need to see an oculo-plastic surgeon. If you live in the USA you can find one near you at www.aao.org    They can do a recession of the lower lid retractors and bring the right lower lid up.

They may need to do a MRI of the orbit to rule out anything pushing on the back of the eye.
