My right eye has always looked smaller than my left since I was a kid, and it makes that side seem a bit droopy. I've attached a photo is there any kind of surgery that could help the right eyelid open more to match the left one?

My age is 32 and my corneal thickness is 494 in the right eye and 497 in the left eye with a SPH of 6 CYL 1.5 axis 175 in both eyes. I've consulted a few doctors but got mixed opinions two said no surgery and to stick with glasses, one suggested epi lasik or Lasek, and two recommended ICL. I'm really confused about what to do next and which procedure would be best for me. Can you help me understand my options and suggest a good doctor in Bangalore?

I had a deep corneal abrasion and the doctor said there's a slight scratch on the corneal stroma near the pupil area. My vision is 69 now and improves to 66 with a pinhole in the left eye. I've been using fluorometholone drops and lubricant gel for 3 months. I also had PRK surgery 4 months ago, but my right eye is fine. How long will it take for this to heal?

ophthal opinion is advised.
