A member asked:
Are my eyes hooded or deep set?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Difficult to say: "hooded" suggests dermatochalasis or laxity of the upper eyelid skin which can happen due to aging. The upper eyelids can sag as a result and even obscure the superior vision. Deep set would suggest a prominent brow. It is difficult to say without seeing this on an physical exam.
