My left eye is smaller than my right eye. What is wrong? (Photo)

August 3, 2015
Asked By:sanghaj23 in Surrey, BC

For about a year or two my left eye appears smaller than my right. It also gets red and starts to get smaller when it turns red. I've been to several doctors and they just give me eye drops for the redness but I want to know if there's any way to make my eyes even. When I smile my left eye pretty much just closes 3/4 of the way. A lot of people make fun of that eye so I really want to do something about it. (I'm only 14 )
