Right eye/socket has dropped lower than left

PHW
This is a weird one.  I've been to 5 drs. and none of them can tell me what's going on.  First my right eye was tearing uncontrollable from time to time...usually if I was too busy, upset, etc. The only relief was sleep.  Now that seems to be going bether...only happens rarely now but still happening.  I use drops and a sab given to me by one dr. He thought my eye was opening at night and getting dirt in it.
For the last 3 months or so, I've noticed that my right eye has moved slightly down my face.  It is lower than my left.
At first I thought I was crazy but now it is more pronounced.  The drs. say my eye is healthy....I see just fine....but what the heck is going on and what dr. should I go to now?  Thank you,

I am noticing EXACTLY the same thing (not the teary eyes) but what I feel to be a dropping eye socket.  My sunnies don't sit they way they used to - they are getting "caught" between the top of the right and bottom of the right eye socket and my right pupil is definitely lower than the left.

See an ophthalmologist.  I do not know what you are describing.

I would recommend a neuro optomologist.  I went to see one recently myself because I was told by my doctor I had Graves Disease of the eyes.  They did a CT scan and they came back fine.  Doesn't hurt to double check though

Good Luck
