My eyes are fairly asymmetrical. I slightly tilt my head to compensate. Will my tilt/crooked glasses worsen it as I age? (Photo)

Asked By:Mordikyne in Appleton, WI

I read some where that in early development the position of your head can cause your bones to shift, specifically around your eyes. I am 24 and well past childhood but I worry that my eyes will continue to become more asymmetrical structurally as the bones in my face continue to grow. I know that your eye sockets enlarge as you age, but do they shift position or drift at all? If they do is there something that I can do to stop it from worsening? Also will crooked glasses add to that shift?
