Why is One Eye Bigger and 'Higher' Than the Other? (photo)

November 25, 2011
Asked By:lawgirl_x in London, UK

I'm very concerned about my eyes. Over the last year or so, I've noticed that my eyes look very asymmetrical. One seems bigger and lower than the other. It never used to be like this. What are the potential causes of this? Not only is it upsetting me from a cosmetic angle, but I'm also concerned as this change coincides with substantial weight loss, palpitations & panic attacks (for the first time in my life!), high blood pressure and other stuff. Maybe I just have newly acquired wonky eyes! :(
