Brief Answer:
Provide more details as advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Is there any visual loss, double vision, drooping of eyelids?
Any twitching over face?
You should get it examined by a neurologist as pupillary findings are difficult for a person to interpret.
Any history of loss of consciousness, seizures, headache, vomiting, hypertension?
Provide more details.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back to me for further queries.
