enlarged eye

by staceyr0521, Jun 22, 2008 08:49PM

Tags: eyes, contact, astigmatism, lenses, other

i have been wearing contact lenses for a long time and i know its wrong but i have a tendency toleave them in for a long time and i sleep in them but i noticed that it made my eyes look bigger so i took them out and one eye is larger than the other and i was wondering how can make the eyes the same size? i have astigmatism in one eye and i suffer from nearsighted in both eyes.

Dear staceyr0521,

The variation in the two eyes may range from normal to abnormal, so it is important to get your eye checked. Please bring old photos to the EyeMD during your visit so the doctor can determine whether this is something new or that you have had for a long time.

Dr. Feldman
