One eye is bigger than the other? (photos)

June 15, 2016
Asked By:leo10294 in Princeton, NJ

Wanted to ask if this is normal? One eye appears to be significantly smaller than the other, I think it's the upper eyelid of my right eye that appears swollen. However, it doesn't feel swollen, any advice on what it is? I have heard of silent sinus syndrome, what treatment should I receive?
