eye problems

i was punched in the eye by my ex partner, its been almost a year since the incident but up till now my eyeball have not gone back to normal, the problem is that one of my eyeball is extremely bigger than the other one, the smaller eye is the one that was punched, i have no vision problems or what so ever. but my biggest eyeball do hurt sometimes, so i was wondering, if theres anything that would help for my eyeball to look normal again. please help because it is depressing me. i did went to see an opthamologist and he said that my eye is fine but he can notice that one of my eye was bigger than the other. so why is this happening

Addendum: When you see the Eye MD don't let the techs put any eye drops in till the eye MD looks at you. The drops can change the position of the lids.

Only an exam by an Eye MD can tell for sure. Given the circumstances its likely that the "smaller" eye has a droopy eyelid "ptosis".

I suggest you see an Eye MD for an exam. Take in an old photo of your face done 3-5 years ago to evaluate the lid position.

No way a punch should make the eye bigger or littler. Could do internal damage such as retinal detachment.

My advice is to just ignore it,i know its bit difficult (i too have so many concern about eyes & depressed due to it) but ignoring is the best way to get rid of these unwanted worries.
