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.

For days I've had migranes they come and go, today I cried because of a situation I witness and I had to wash y face and get back to work, later felt my right eye like droopy and slow to blink, but didnt think much of it, when I got home my mom told me my right eye was very small, when i saw my self in the mirror I saw it and got a headache again, is it serious?

You have to love all the nonmedical posters who dismiss posters eye issues (guess they stayed at a Hampton & got their medical degree over night?). the Dr. is correct with the potential issue & shingles, etc.

If you have had some "smaller eye issue" for years since birth (look through pics), than it is not an unusual issue. It is common for one to have a smaller eye than another...but if it concerns you, see a Doctor

If you woke up, suddenly have a droopy eyelid &/or pain, you must go to a Dr today. That IS a sign on shingles. Happened to 2 friends of mine & you must get immediate treatment (I also had shingles; however it was not on the face). If you suddenly have a bulging eye &/or pain...go to a Dr immediately.

If you have had a cosmetic issue all your life & it bothers you to the point it inhibits living, talk to a plastic surgeon.

They key is a unique, sudden (or evolving) change must be addressed!

Hi, my name is carlos and I've had an eye bigger than the other for years and its ruined my life. I'm embarrassed to go any where, even around my own family, I've quit jobs because of it I don't like looking for jobs because of it. I feel like its blocking my way to getting on with my life. If you could help Dr. Hagan, I would deepley appreciate it.

i have the same case, my rigth eye become smaller than the left eye, and i started to have double vision only when i look below, but my vision is normal when i look to eye level and upward... I only have double vision when i look downward.. do you think nerves are involved in my case? because i had a hard headache before i experienced this, I also experiencing neck pain and back pain, until now..
