My Eye is Smaller on the Bells Palsy Side and Very Uncomfortable, What To Do?

The eye appears smalller on the Bells palsy side because the brow is paralyzed and droopy and it is crowding the eye area.  The eye also is unlikely to blink well and close completely, which causes the eye to dry out and get irritated.  There are various nonsurgical and surgical options.  Consult an oculoplastic surgeon.

Bell's palsy, and in fact any facial nerve paresis/dysfunction, are extremely difficult, both physically and psychologically.  Because multiple functions of the facial nerve may be affected, and because every individual is uniquely impaired, you truly need to seek in person help from a specialist.  The House Clinic in LA manages facial nerve disorders, and may be of help.  In Palm Springs, consider seeking referral to a neurologist, neurosurgeon, otorhinolaryngologist, or plastic surgeon with experience in facial nerve disorders.  Eisenhower is an excellent facility, and very well staffed.  

The facial nerve innervates submandibular and sublingual salivary glands, but not the lacrimal... your excess lacrimation may be from irritation, reflex, or a pathway I'm unaware of.  Because the condition is serious, again, direct these questions to a physician who knows you, or seek a qualified specialist.

synkinesis describes multiple muscles of the face working together but in a disorganized/less funciont manner.  this can happen after bells palsy.  another thing that can happen is hyperkinsis where the muscles are too active, again in a less than functional manner.  selective injections of botox can at times be used to address these problems.  a visit with a plastic and reconstructive surgeon might provide some answers.
