Advice Why are his eyes so far apart

Background information: Cat is well over a year old and his eyes appeared to be way too big for his head and extremely far apart. Is this a characteristic of a certain breed he may be mixed with or is he… just built different. His name is Jax

When our greybaby was younger, we thought she was going to have the "always sad" eyes. Her upper lid tilts down slightly.
As she grew up, though, it just made her eyes look like she was wearing cats' eye liner.

His eyelids sadly turn inward and it hurts him. I was just at the vet earlier to go through options on how to fix it. Poor boy got so scared he peed in the transport box

Also thata such a gorgeous girl. I love grey cats
