my left eye is bigger than my right eye due to an injury to my left eye when i was young. it got bigger after it healed i guessed. can plastic surgery fix it? So when I was just a kid i had an injury to my left eye. After it healed it got bigger. It isn't a droopy eyelid or whatever you call it. I'm positive of that. It's either my left eye ball pops out more or my left eye ball gotten bigger. bottom line is my left eye ball pops out of my socket more. after i fall asleep, my left eye always opens up a little. it gets dry more often, and irritated more often.
