Can an eyedoctr answr this or someone who knows as much?!
Question: Ok I have mild ptosis and it makes one eye look smaller and different (like an asian type of eye instead of a wide opened eye). I went to an eyedctr and he told me he won't try to fix it because chances are it'll end up worse.
I have a question though: when I cry, the eye with ptosis gets fully,wide opened u don't see any difference between the 2 eyes (4 a couple of days)
Why does that happen?

Maybe because the inflamed tissue pushes the lid upwards? I am a physician's assistant, not an ophthalmologist, but i've seen cases of mild ptosis *when caused by Graves' Disease or thyroid problems* that spontaneously go back to normal condition. You can help yourself, though.
Besides following the required treatment to cure the cause, try not to smoke (ever), sleep with your head slightly elevated, drink enough fluids, and follow a diet rich in green leaf vegetables, soy, fish (especially cold water fish) and omega fatty acids. Sleep at least 8 hours every night and exercise to relief tension.
More likely the crying makes the other eye's lids puffy so it resembles the ptosis eye ie the "good" eye gets less wide open.
