This probably sounds stupid butI think one of my eyes is more droopy than the other maybe a lazy eye, other people probably don't notice, I have thought maybe wearing an eye patch might help, when I cover my other eye I can feel the lazy one working harder if I do this reguarly do you think it will help is it like eye exercises
I thought it might help age related eye droop as well, I have looked at facial exercises but watched a youtube video where a doctor said any repetitive movement of the face would actually cause lines and wrinkles to form. Women in indian cultures apparently try to avoid too much facial expression in order to prevent lines forming. |

If you think you have a lazy eye you should have an optometrist look at it. Maybe you could wear glasses or lenses for a while that force your lazy eye to work harder. It was discovered I had a lazy eye when I was well in my thirties. I wear glasses, and I had them fitted with just a little too less strength on the side of the dominant eye. That really worked for me. Your eyes are VERY important, so it's best to have an expert look at them and advise you and not try to DIY.
Facial exercises causing wrinkles is nonsense if you do them right, in my humble opinion. If anything exercise has softened mine anyway. But you must do them right, and know what you're doing. If not, they can cause unwanted effects. |

^^^ I agree with all that. Its fascinating how figuring out ways of exercising the eyes can correct eyesight. And from everything I've read that seems right about facial exercises not causing lines, but correcting them. The "if you do them right" part is what scares me and has prevented me from trying til I have time to do my homework. sigh.
I'm confused though. Isn't a lazy eye completely different from a droopy eye?
One of my eye-hoods droops a bit. My mom had really bad droopy lids as she got older, so its troubling. I started applying tretinoin on it, which seemed to help. And I also tried a diy version of frownies, which again, really seemed to help... when I did use them. I haven't for a while.  I suppose I'll be reminded to do them again soon enough! |

I sort of have/had the same issue.
Cosmetic surgery really works well for that and usually takes under 1 hour.
No idea of the cost though.
but then eventurally I was told your eye muscles have "memory" and you can go back to how you were before.
That actually happened to me, even though I went to one of the best specialists in my city that does only eye surgeries and was the on call eye doctor of the Ottawa Senators hockey team.
But I guess you are looking for a more natural solution?
My aunt had some problem with one eye and her eyelid or something and every 5 or 6 years she has to go back for surgery because as you age those kind of things do not last forever. |

I'd definitely advise seeing an eye doctor, as already suggested, before embarking upon eye patching. I had a lazy eye as a child and always understood that patching worked only for children because they were still undergoing stages of development, rather than for adults.
Mind you, that was an awfully long time ago and treatment may have changed since then, so best to check. Also, they may have much better methods of correction by now.
Just to note that my lazy eye did not cause drooping, but it did (and still does, to a certain extent) make one eye look larger (more open) than the other. Definitely best to get a proper diagnosis, I'd say, as this may not be the same problem with your eyes. |
