Asymmetrical eyes: My right eye is smaller than my left, seems to have gotten worse with time, what could be causing it? (photo)

Asked By:northstar7

I've been noticing in photos that my right eye seems to squint more than my right, which is especially noticeable when I smile. Recently, a family member noticed this and asked me about it. I've also noticed my right eyelid twitches regularly when I bump or rub it (like after drying off from a shower). Is there anything I can do? What could be causing this? And how common is it to have this level of noticeable difference between eyes?
