Can My Vertical Orbital Dystopia Be Corrected?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I’ve noticed asymmetry in my eyes. My left eye and eyebrow sits lower than my right eye. I’ve only noticed this recently because I don’t take a lot pictures ansmd when I do I only take selfies with my head tilted. I’m interested in surgery to correct this and was wondering if I’m candidate for this procedure. I’m interested in visiting your office eventually for a ct scan but since I will be coming out of state, I would like to know more about it before I make the trip. I’m 26 years old by the way. I’ve looked at the before and afters on your website and I hope my results will be like that as well. I was also wondering the long term effects of the implant and the frequency of revisions after this procedure. Thank you and I look forward hearing from you

A: The definitive test for potential vertical orbital dystopia (VOD) surgery is a 3D CT scan. How low is the entire orbital box on the affected side. (needs to be 5mm or less to be successful in my experience with non-orbital box procedures) Yours is close to that limit. (see attached)

The 3D orbital CT scan is one where you get where you live and we place the order for it to be done. Then you send the scan to me. You do not need to come here for the scan.
