Question 1

why is one eyelid bigger than the other?

Accepted Answer

Eyelid: The simple answer could be because you have a slight ptosis (one eye lid droops a little lower than the other) or you could have some lid retraction (related to overactive thyroid disease).  It would be best to see an ophthalmologist to put your mind at ease.

Question 2

one eyelid is bigger than the other and i was wondering who to talk to, to make it smaller and at least similar to the other eye.

Accepted Answer

Start with eye doc: There are oculoplastic surgeons who specialize in work like you describe. But first please seek out an evaluation by an ophthalmologist who can help you decide what the issue really is. Some people have a lid that hangs lower than the other, some have actual eye sockets that differ in size , etc. While surgery may be an option it may not be the best option.

Question 3

why is one of my eyelids bigger than the other?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: A lid that looks "larger" may be due to drooping on ne side (ptosis), or excessive redundant skin (dermatochalasis)  Brow ptosis can also cause the lids to look asymmetric.  Thyroid dysfunction can also cause lids to appear different from one another.  Get an exam to identify the cause

Question 4

my one eye small and one big?

Accepted Answer

Yes and NO : The two sides of one's body are not totally symmetrical, so it is not unusual to have a side bigger than the other. However, there are illnesses that are associated with a change in size of the eye opening or swelling..Etc. So it is best if you see your doctor for a proper evaluation to decide if this is normal for you or it is caused by an ailment.

in dim light one pupil does get quite as big as the other unless it's really dark then they look the same.in daylight they are the same, responds normally to light. had full eye exam all normal. dr didn't see it but said 25%of people have this?cause?

Accepted Answer

Anisocoria: Anisocoria is defined as a difference in size between two pupils. The parasympathetic NS constricts the pupil and the sympathetic NS dilates the pupils. Along their respective anatomic pathways from the brain different life threatening conditions such as aortic dissection aneurysms or tumors can cause imbalance, as can trauma. However, majority of times the slight imbalance and asymmetry is benign

No: Although contact lenses can aid in correcting unequal vision in the two eyes, contact lenses do not change the actual size of the eyes..
