Specializes in Ophthalmology

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.
