Why is one of my eyes smaller than the other, especially when I smile? Self conscious about this. Any way to fix it? (Photo)

Asked By:sparksfly24 in Nyack, NY

Ive noticed that for the past few years my left eye is generally smaller when I smile. I don't know if it's very obvious in real life because no one has pointed it out but it's become more and more apparent in the recent years. Is there any way to fix this as I am 24yrs old and not sure about the underlying problem? I wouldn't even know who to begin seeing about this issue. Any advice or help would be very useful. Thank you!
