Q

• over contraction of the muscles of facial expression in a contralateral facial nerve palsy
• retraction of the contralateral lid
• misdirected facial nerve fibers, after CN7 damage (can lead to a rare and peculiar form of facial
asymmetry known as jaw-winking, in which an eye closes in response to opening and closing the mouth

Q

• ocular trauma or any surgery in or around an eye,
• also: enophthalmos, in which the palpebral apertures
are actually of different sizes but due to malposition of the globe.
•physiological pseudoptosis (physiological asymmetry
more than normal but not associated with pathology).

measure the deviation
trial & error: prism bars, TF

How:
usually must surface, decenter if poss two pairs of glasses
