My left eye is noticeably bigger than the other, and it wasn't like this when I was younger because I've seen pictures. I noticed the big difference in my teens. The eye even looks weird and way more different than my right eye, especially in certain angles. I do wear glasses and it probably has to do with a vision problem that I have. So I was wondering, can surgery correct it by pushing it further in or anything to make it the same size as my right?
Answer: You appear to have a droopy left eyelid (ptosis). Maybe right and left are reversed in the photo, but you seem to have ptosis (pronounced "tosis") of your left upper eyelid.

This problem can occur for a variety of medical reasons including thyroid disease and tumors. For this reason, an evaluation should be performed as soon as possible. Under these circumstances, imaging studies including CT scans may be necessary.Depending upon the cause of the problem, a variety of treatment options may be available. In some cases, expansion of the boney orbit may be necessary to accommodate the globe.Irregardless of the causation, it's important to consult a board certified plastic surgeon with experience dealing with this type of problem. This surgeon should be able to formulate a treatment plan that addresses your anatomic findings and achieves your aesthetic goals.
