hello. my right eye is squinty and my left eye is wide open. the only way to make my eyes both open evenly is if i tilt my head back to balance them out. i tilt my head back and my left eye closes a bit and my right eye opens a bit causing them to balance out. this is causing me a lot of anxiety. is there something wrong with my brain?

thanks

    Have you had a doctor visit since this began?

    This sounds like ptosis, which is drooping of the eyelid caused by the muscles. It is usually not caused by the brain. However if you have had a stroke or tumor that would cause it as well. I would see an ophthalmologist they can refer you to see someone for treatment options. Try not to stress there are many people who have ptosis. Hope this helps.
