A member asked:
Why is one eyelid bigger than the other?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
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.

May be the eye: Asymmetry of eyelid size is rare.Most likely,the height,or position of the eyelid has changed OR the position of the eyeball has changed.Old photographs may help note this change. I would recommend an exam to rule out a bulging eyeball.
