One eye bigger than the other...possible causes?

[RL1988]

Hi, hope you can help with my problem.

My right eye is larger than my left eye. In pictures, you can clearly see the difference. If i focus on something, my right eye will appear larger than the left. Is this because the right eye is weaker so is straining? Not sure if this is a "lazy eye".

Thanks in advance for any help; it's much appreciated.

I too have a small left eye and a bigger right eye. I go to the opticians every 6 months or so they've never mentioned anything about it and neither have I. At my next check up should I ask them what it could be. ( I wear glasses btw if that helps :))

I will make two suggestions:

first, since your pain is related to the way a particular nerve branches across your face, make an appointment with a neurologist, a specialist in this kind of problem.

Second, google 'migraine headaches.'  I have migraines myself, and they cause  headaches that are one-sided and can involve all the areas you mention, including the neck (where it is called carotidynia).

I one had this problem of my right eye being biger than my left one about 2 years ago and it had been a problem for many years. I have congential glacoma and my pressure was up and alot of water was being made in my eye. I recieved a freezing treatment, and it brought down the pressusre significantly in my right eye and my right eye was small as it grew back the pressure, for the most part remains stable and my right eye is the same size as my left. hope this helps!
