right eye pupil dilated more then left and twitching

right eye pupil dilated more then left. Also I have been noticed that eye twitches quit often.
It is not full blown. It does constrict. But for the last week or so it is noticeably (slightly) bigger and the eye keeps twitching.
What could this be?

thanks so much! I remember my ophthalmologist telling me before that with my really bad astigmatism it is very possible for my retinas to detach easy.. this would not be sign of it would it?

Hi there. Causes for unequal pupils are usually eyedrops, bleeding inside the skull, migraine headache, seizure, excess eye pressure in glaucoma, Horner’s syndrome  etc. Eye twitching is an involuntary eyelid contraction affecting the lower lid, caused by stress, high caffeine intake, fatigue or squinting. To relieve this try warm compressed application, gentle massaging of eyelid with fingers, over the counter antihistamines, topical and oral etc can provide relief. Consult an ophthalmologist and later a neurologist for evaluation of the eye and any associated neurological etiology. Hope this helps. Take care.
