What could cause my newborn's eyelid to not close, water, and the eye look slightly larger?

Doctor can evaluate: If a newborn's eyes look unusually big, a parent can talk with the primary care doctor about it. A pediatric ophthalmologist (eye doctor) can help evaluate by examining the eyes. Sometimes it is a hereditary feature, meaning that one or both parents had the same appearance as a newborn. On rare occasions, there is something wrong with the eye(s, ) such as glaucoma.
