pupils not placed symetrically

Since my daughters born, I notice that their pupils are not placed symetrically in the right & left eye. However, the movement is normal, both eyes move to same direction. Their pediatrician also said that they are not suffering strabismus when I asked him about this. By the way, my youngest is wearing eyeglasses and during the examination the ophthalmologist didn't make any comment about this. Is this normal or should I revisit the ophthalmologist?
Thanks.

Revisit the ophthalmologist with the daughter in question. BE SURE that the techs do not dilate the eye till the Eye MD looks at the pupil. Also take in a good photo or two that shows it. Most likely its normal. The pupil is not in th exact center of the iris sometimes.
