Pitosis?
Hi,
I saw an opthemologist on Wednesday. I communicated that my left eyelid (right in the photo) feels heavy and the muscles often feel like they are over working. When I look at my reflection I can see that the impacted eyelid slightly covers my pupil.
He told me he didn't see this and that he thinks I have severe dry eye. But… my eyes were dialated which I feel would make it harder for him to measure the height of one eyelid vs the other.
Per his suggestion I've been wearing my glasses since the appointment and have been adding eye drops on a regular basis + putting eye gel in at night.
My eyelid still feels heavy and I definitely can't lift it as much as the other. Does this look like pitosis to you? My doctor felt very dismissive when I inquired about this.
