Eye problem?

I’ve noticed one of our 3 month olds eyes isn’t as open/big as the other one. Looking back at photos it has always been like this. Does it look like something to worry about as I don’t want to waste GPs time, plus it’s so hard to get an appointment. The eyelid on the more closed eye also doesn’t look like it has the upper fold (both eyes were like this until 5 weeks old).
thanks

Yes, you’re right OP. It’s called a ptosis and is often an isolated sign and not associated with anything else, but still need checking out by an ophthalmologist. Ask your GP to refer you.
