Has anyone here tried doing eye awareness/focus exercises to balance their facial symmetry?

Discussion

Hi everyone,
I’ve been researching facial asymmetry and recently came across a theory that caught my attention. The idea is that having a strong eye dominance or a "lazy/weaker" eye on one side can cause a gradual shift in your facial midline over the years. According to this theory, because the brain withholds neural engagement from the weaker side, the muscles on that side of the face (the cheek, the corner of the mouth, etc.) begin to droop or lose tone.
Some people suggest that by covering your strong eye and forcing yourself to look at the world sharply with the weaker/drooping side’s eye, you can re-engage the nerves and "wake up" the atrophied muscles on that side of your face.
