Eye size differs
I feel certain pressure in my left eye sometimes. It might be due to office work staying infront of phone and laptop but, now I observe a slight difference in shape of both my eyes. My left eye appears bigger than my right eye (which appears little  saggy and small in terms of shape) People have started observing the difference! That makes me worried, please let me know the solution.

Eye ball becoming small is quite rare and need not be considered at your age. Sometimes lids can become swollen due  to over eye strain or droop down due to weakness which can give rise to such unequal eye size . But Eye ball can bulge out due to certain conditions like Thyroid . Any of these must be evaluated by an ophthalmologist or an Oculuplasty specialist to come to a diagnosis. Have your old photos and new photos handy when you consult the doctor.
