Why does one eye appear smaller than the other? (photos)

BradGill
My right eye seems to be smaller than the left, or it might just be the crease above it that's lower on my right eye. I've seen older pictures & it appears my right eye is a bit smaller, it also might just be that I've been focusing on it a lot lately but I'm not 100% sure which is why I'm asking. I wear contacts and my eyesight is a worse in my left eye. I also close my right eye and look with the left to look at things close up like my phone when I'm not wearing contacts out force of habit.
