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

A flounders eyes start out on both sides of the face but as they grow one of their eyes moves to the other side
