One eye smaller than the other. Can this be corrected? (Photo)

Question

I recently started to notice that my one eye (right eye ) looks smaller than the other. I first noticed in photos then when very closely after concentrate hard i can see in the mirror too. I don’t think i had this condition from birth . I want to know if this can be treated naturally without any procedure using an eye patch or by sleeping properly. I have been sleeping on my stomach all my life . Also i am a left hander person and my left eye is bigger.can this be corrected from lifestyle

All people have facial asymmetry.
Not only is the face asymmetrical, but the entire body is.
During embryological development, the two sides of the face develop independently from each other.
They eventually fuse in the midline.
All people have significant facial asymmetry.
 Facial asymmetry is primarily determined by facial, skeletal structure.
It cannot be treated non-surgically, and generally should not be treated.
The human brain is accustomed to seeing peoples faces as a symmetrical and that is normal.
There are no people who have symmetrical faces.
 if you look at computer generated pictures of perfectly symmetrical faces, you will notice they have an odd and unfamiliar appearance.
This is because we’ve never seen a face that is symmetrical.
Even a great classical works of art have facial asymmetry incorporated in them.
 This is also why you don’t see a symmetry in other people around you.
All people have it, but you don’t notice it because it’s normal.
You should accept your asymmetry as being appropriate normal and it should not be treated.
The only exception to this is gross asymmetry, which is obvious to all people.
Yours is not.
Best,
