One eye smaller in size than another

[Nikki2684]

Hi Sir,
I have recently observed that my left eye is bit smaller in size & blinks much faster than the right eye. It has developed recently & was not earlier. It has started worrying me as i'm about to get married next year. Would request for your suggestions to correct the same.

I live in India & have not contacted any doctor so far.

Thanks , Nitika Kaul

No way I can tell. If he's an eye MD and has a good reputation no reason to doubt what he said.

Hello Sir,

I went to an Ophthalmologist today & he ruled out the chances of me having droopy eyelid or ptosis. He instead said that i am suffering from CVS (Computer Vision syndrome) and gave me two eye drops prescription - Misty (3 times a day) & Lacrigel (2 times a day) and asked me to visit him again after 15 days.

Just wanted to know whether everything suggested by him is correct!

Thank you sir for the reply.

I've kept an appointment with Eye Specialist & will be taking the old photograph too. Anyhow this has raised my concern as i wasn't taking it that seriously till now. Just wanted to know whether its curable or not.

I'm into HR (Payroll) & my work forces me to be infront of the computer for 7-8 hrs daily, excluding Saturday & Sunday. Can this be a cause of droopy eyelid? If yes, then what all can i do to prevent it.

Those are symptoms that could indicate a serious eye problem. See an Ophthalmologist Eye MD. DO NOT let the techs put eye drops in till the Eye MD looks at your smaller eye (usually due to droopy eyelid or ptosis). also take in a good full face OLD photo 4-6 years ago to document that this has not been present in the past. If you live in the USA find an Eye MD at www.aao.org elsewhere ask your MD to refer you.
