Is it normal to have some eye asymmetry? Or should I get this fixed? (Photo)

Asked By:meaganv123 in Atlanta, GA

I've noticed that one of my eyes appears smaller than the other. I'm not sure if I'm overreacting, or if I should seek surgery to fix this; sometimes it is not as noticeable if I focus on opening my right eye more. Is this a normal amount of asymmetry?
