Default Lazy eye or ptosis? pls answer only if you know?

I have ptosis but it's very mild. So mild that the eye doctors won't evn operate on it and the plastic surgeons say it's barely noticable.
If you see me you'll see that one eye is SLIGHTLY bigger than the other.

But on pictrs the eye with ptosis is like half closed. So why does this happen in pictures? (the eye with ptosis doesn't rly look half closed -only in pictures) Can it be that I may also have a lazy eye? I heard that ppl w lazy eye also come with one eye closed in pictures.

if you really have been to multiple docs and multiple surgeons about the ptosis, they'd have found "lazy eye" if you had it.

so it must just *appear* to be crossed. if it were really crossed, it would have shown up in testing at the docs/surgeons
