Nick: These are very troubling symptoms and you need to have them evaluated. Likely your RE looks smaller because the upper lid is drooping (ptosis) that combined with new onset of headaches means there could be a neurological cause.

I don't know where you live but you need to see an ophthalologist as soon as possible. When you go in take 5-6 good facial pictures of you talken over the last 15 years that show your lid position and eye appearance well. Do not let the ophthalmologist eye techs put any drops in your eyes till the Eye MD sees you. If you have a chance see a neuroophthalmologist. If you live in USA find one near you at www.geteyesmart.org       Also see your family MD about the headaches. Tell him about the eye changes and see if you can get referred to a neurologist. Please act on this.
