Post Cataract Surgery, my Eyes Seem to Be Different Sizes. Is This Possible?

MomBlair
I had cataract surgery with lens implanted in both eyes. My right eye was focused for distance and the left for close-up. Should one eye now be smaller than the other? The operations were about two weeks apart. My eyes now seem asymmetrical. I noticed it and others agreed. One of my friends even noticed it without being prompted. Is this common?
