Eyes: Many people have one eye smaller - this can be quite normal. The first thing to do is to make sure your vision is normal in both eyes.

Exercise when one eye is small?

Probably eyelid: One eye seems small compared to the other most commonly from one eyelid being "droopy" also called ptosis. Rarely is it from the actual eye ball being smaller. There are no eye exercises for ptosis. You should go to your eye doctor for an evaluation.

My one eye small and one big?

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.

A 39-year-old member asked:
What is the problem if one eye pupil is smaller than the other?
1 doctor answer • 1 doctor weighed in
Dr. Bruce Sarananswered

Many things: This could be physiologic, meaning it's benign and just the way the pupil is. This could be from getting a drug in the eye, a neurologic condition, test inflammation in the eye, and rarely brain aneurysms, brain tumor, cancer, and past inflammation, infection or ischemia in the optic nerve. If this is new you should go to your doctor.

A 18-year-old male asked:
I have one eye way smaller than the other, how can I change that?

Dr. Jon Fishburnanswered

You can't : Anatomically there is no way to change the size of the eyeball. Glasses prescriptions can change the relative size by magnification (farsightedness) or minification (nearsightedness) depending on the eyes power. Curiously does your small eye see well? This eye may have deficient focus. A exam can tell.

My right eye is smaller than the left one. Is this bad?

See eye doctor: It may be that one upper lid is lower than the other and the eye appears a different size when in reality they are the same size. This can be a neurological issue and requires you to see an eye doctor. Also, one can can be pushed more forward due to thyroid disorder. Need to see eye doctor.
