What to do if one eye is bigger than the other?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bigger eye: This can occur as an illusion due to asymmetric eyelid position, i.e. If the upper eyelid of one eye is slightly droopier then that eye will appear smaller. However, this can also occur if one eye is protruding more than the other (proptosis). This can arise from medical conditions, inflammation in the orbit, and even orbital tumors. To be safe, have your eyes evaluated by an eye md.
