Is this because of a lazy eye, or is it just asymmetry? (photos)

Asked By:DivinaR in Valley Stream, NY

One of my eyes is bigger than the other. Is this because of a lazy eye, or is it just asymmetry? I don't notice any difference in the mirror, only in pictures, and no one else seems to notice until I ask them to look closely. I'm really insecure about it and worried it may be a side effect of something bigger. I also have migraines and wear contact lenses, if that's important. Thank you!
