Why are my eyelids uneven, and what can I do about it? (Photo)

Asked By:Victoriabravo1995 in San Marcos, CA

My eyes have been like this since I was 5 or 6. I woke up with a really swollen eyelid. It got better but it never went back to normal. My parents didn't get it checked out. One eyelid is different than the other. And the skin above the eyelid is different also. The skin above my normal eye bugles more than the other so that my eyelashes touch them. The other eyelashes do not touch the skin above the abnormal eye. Can one eye be bulging out more the other to cause this difference? I'm not sure.
