A member asked:
Could you tell me why my left side eye is slighty higher than my right eye? what causes hypertropia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many possibilities: I assume you were not born with a slight orbital asymmetry with one eye higher. There are many causes of hypertropia. One of the most common is IV cranial (Trochlear) nerve weakness which can come from trauma, diabetes or many other things. Another is Graves disease with hyperthyroidism. There is a long list but usually the problem is benign. U should be seen by EyeMD-let me know if I can help.
