Hey guys! My cat Saturns pupils have recently been acting weird, one sometimes is way bigger than the other. I looked this up and saw something called antisocoria. I read into it more it it kinda scared me. I contacted my local "cat lady" since she's helped me many times before with my cats and knows a lot about cats in general. She told me it was really nothing to worry about, as long as there is no discharge and he can see fine that there was no issue. I also don't have much money to go to a vet right now so that is an issue :( What do you guys think?

The Internet can't diagnose your cat so don't rely on Dr. Google or wherever you found antisocori to be accurate. Many experienced cat owners are not vets either so you can't rely on them to  tell you exactly what is wrong with the cat and taking a "nothing to worry about aprpoach" may be harmful results for the cat. The pupil problem can be anything and only a vet can do a proper exam and run bloodwork to determine what the problem is.

Look into low cost vet clinics in your area. Here is one right in Miami: https://www.awsfl.com/

Our local pet supply stores also have vets who come monthly to set up clinic at the store. They're mainly there for vax and such but it may not hurt to check if there's one coming up by you.

Thank you all very much for the responses. I will be sure to check out those low cost vets, he seems perfectly fine but you guys are right there may be a underlying cause to this :/

Yes, please do get your baby in to see a vet!  Not to alarm you, but that is how FIP starting showing in my beloved Bella.  She had the dry version, and her eyes were the first to exhibit symptoms.

As I said, I don't want to alarm you, but please do take your cat to the vet to get checked out.
