My eyes are unequal please help?!


Question: My eyes are unequal please help!?
well the colored part not the whole thing just the colored part of my eyes!.

looking in the mirror:
you see, as i look straight and drop my head lower but make my eyes stay in the same direction but trying to follow my reflections eyes, and i try to make both of them to line up against the bottom part of my eye!. I do so and im for sure that the right is a bit higher and the the eyeball turns right a really small bit(about 3% to the right) so in the corener of my eye(twrds that middle) i can see more of the pink redish thing on my right eye than the left eye!. and that the right and the lleft doesnt touch the bottom line together!.

Is this normal!? coz i dont remember having this before!.
its not noticable AT ALL to anyone but when i look in the mirror and drop my head and the other stuff, ONLY I can see that my eyes are unequeal no one knows cept me!. AND no one doesnt notice and when i just make my eyes normal it looks normal and even, like i just leave them open as i read a book or talk to someone my eyes arent squinting or rising its just the regular size of my eyes should be as i just leave them open!. you get!? Its not noticiable to anyone it looks 10000% normal when i leave them as the size it should be without raising it or dropping my eyelids!. and i could tell its not noticiable to anyone even if they do look striaght into my eyes and stare in it for a long time and sometimes i make my eyes wide when i get confused on something and no ones notices it even if they do look in my eye!.
So for them i could tell they dont see my nequal eyes or something!.

but when i do the "looking in the mirror" part and drop my head(ect) it looks unequal!. haaawwwh!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
There are a lot of things in play here!. First, if your head is tilted, that will affect how your eyelids line up with your eyes!. If your cornea / iris (the colored parts) of your eyes are truly unequal, have someone hold a small ruler next to them to measure them!. Typical cornea / iris size is approximately 12 mm!. If yours are equal when measured like this, then it's more likely to do with where your lids are positioned!.

When you talk about your eyes turning and all the work you did "dropping your head", the movements you see and the direction your eyes are pointed are most likely normal!. Worst case scenario, the relaxed position of your eyes could be pointed slightly out or in (extremely few people's eyes point directly straight ahead when truly relaxed)!. This is called your phoria and it can be measured by an eye doctor to make sure you're within the normal ranges!.

From your description, the pink structure in your eye is most likely your caruncle!. (This is a link to a picture: http://vesalius!.com/graphics/cf_storyboa!.!.!. ) If it's slightly larger / redder, it might be slightly irritated (like your skin would be if you rubbed it for a little bit)!. If it's very red, swollen, or painful, it would be best to get checked by an eye doctor!.

Also, many people have pupils (the black part of the eye) that are unequal!. In most cases, this is normal!. But in some very serious cases, this is a sign of a major problem!. Your eye doctor can tell the difference!.

It is recommended that you get your eyes examined every year by an eye doctor!. Most insurances will cover a yearly eye exam!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
