I really need to know if there is anything I can do to help my asymmetrical eyes! They are destroying my confidence, etc.

Asymmetric eyes

Although it is helpful that you submitted a photo, the quality is not great and does not take the place of an in person consultation. From here, I do not see anything terrible going on. Consider seeing an oculofacial plastic surgeon for a consultation by referring to asoprs.org
