Hi, maybe I'm just tired, but lately it seems like more and more when I take pics one of my eyes show up as one smaller than the other. I have to make sure I keep eyes wide or it seems worse. And then of course I have the wide eyed deer look sometimes instead.
Answer: Really not such a great photo for this purpose.
Looking just at this photograph, the most obvious issue is that you have a defined double fold on the left side but the double fold is not defined on the right side in this image. A personal consultation would be very helpful to get to the bottom of the difference.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Uneven Asian eyelids Given the limitation of the photograph, the reason your eyes appear different is because your eyelid folds are uneven. This is quite common and can be addressed but other issues like possible droopy eyelid (ptosis) needs to be excluded on examination especially if this is a new change for you in recent times. The reason when you try to open wider that you end up with "deer in the headlight" look as you try to compensate is because of our wonderful human anatomy- as you open your eyes bigger, your right eye gets more light into it but less compared to your left (the "normal" side) which feeds in to your brain that your right eye needs to open further but your brain can only send out a universal "open your eyes wider" so you end up opening BOTH eyes wider = Deer in the head light. Provided you are happy with your left eye, your right eye can be "symmetrised" with creation of a fold that better match your left. Wish you the best in your journey.

Answer: Asymmetric folds Although it's difficult to tell, your creases are assymetric as well as your epicanthal folds. It's best to see a qualified surgeon for evaluation in case there's ptosis as well.

Answer: Asian eyes and one eye smaller than the other
Based on the pictures it looks like the right eye has a less distinctive fold than the other. This will lead to more skin covering the right eye and making it smaller looking. An Asian double eyelid procedure / blepharoplasty could help you.

Answer: Why Asian eyes look smaller in pictures - usually the flash
Asian patients frequently have a degree of ptosis or decreased upper field vision. When a flash camera is used, there is a reflexive closure of the eyes. This causes the eyes to look smaller.
I find it always necessary to use a flash camera prior to asian eyelid surgery in order to capture any preexisiting ptosis which is not very apparent otherwise.
This is an excellent, advanced question.
