One eye suddenly smaller than the other. What could this be from? (Photo)

February 17, 2015
Asked By:Wasithea in Toronto, ON

I noticed the other day that in photos my eye is smaller than the other. I never had this before, not to this extent anyway. It's quite noticeable. It's drastically effected my self esteem since I used to think I had nice eyes, and now they have become a source of insecurity. What could this be from? And are there any alternatives to surgery?
