Change in size of the eye.

Question

Asked for Female, 45 Years

My mom is 45years old and we can see the size of one of her eye getting reduced with every passing day which basically makes her one eye look much bigger than the other. We consulted a doctor 1year ago we were said it is because of thyroid. So, what can be the actual reason behind her eye size and now should we consult a opthalmologist or endocrinology?
